GABA A receptors are the major inhibitory transmitter receptors in the brain. They are ligand-
gated chloride channels and the site of action of benzodiazepines, barbiturates, neuroactive …

Mature macroglia and almost all neural progenitor types express γ-aminobutyric (GABA) A
receptors (GABAARs), whose activation by ambient or synaptic GABA, leads to influx or …

Mecp2 is a transcriptional repressor protein that is mutated in Rett syndrome, a
neurodevelopmental disorder that is the second most common cause of mental retardation …

GABAA receptors consisting of ρ1, ρ2, or ρ3 subunits in homo-or hetero-pentamers have
been studied mainly in retina but are detected in many brain regions. Receptors formed from …

Previous studies indicate that moderate‐to‐high ethanol (EtOH) concentrations enhance
dopamine (DA) neurotransmission in the mesolimbic DA system from the ventral tegmental …

Neuronal microcircuits, small, localized signaling motifs involving two or more neurons,
underlie signal processing and computation in the brain. Compartmentalized signaling …

Gephyrin is a multifunctional protein responsible for the clustering of glycine receptors
(GlyR) and γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAAR). GlyR and GABAAR are …

Females report temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain more than men and studies suggest
estrogen modulates this pain response. Our goal in this study was to determine genes that …

Primary afferent neurotransmission is the fundamental first step in the central processing of
sensory stimuli and is controlled by pre‐and postsynaptic inhibitory mechanisms …

Purpose: The balance of neuronal excitation and inhibition is important for proper retinal
signaling. A previous report showed that diabetes selectively reduces light-evoked inhibition …
