Brain levels of y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were determined using high performance liquid chroinatography coupled with fluorometeric detection at 3-h intervals throughout a 24-h time period in roaches acclimated to a photoperiodic cycle of 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness at 25 1?: 2ยฐC to establish
Evidence presented in this paper indicates that a robust circadian rhythm in the frequency of neural activity can be recorded from the central nervous system of intact cockroaches, Leucophaea maderae. This rhythmicity was abolished by optic lobe removal. Spontaneous neural activity was then used as
