ABSTRACT
Taurine resembles GABA in its synaptic effects in the cockroach cercal nerve giant fiber synapse where it exerts a depressant action upon synaptic transmission. Both taurine and GABA produce an increased conductance of pre- and postsynaptic membranes through changes in the permeability of chloride ions.
