GABAergic inhibitory transmission is involved in the acute and chronic effects of ethanol on
the brain and behavior. One-dose ethanol exposure induces transient plastic changes in …

Diverse populations of GABAA receptors (GABAARs) throughout the brain mediate fast
inhibitory transmission and are modulated by various endogenous ligands and therapeutic …

The neurotransmitter GABA mediates the majority of rapid inhibition in the CNS. Inhibition
can occur via the conventional mechanism, the transient activation of subsynaptic GABAA …

In the present study, we have characterized properties of steroid withdrawal using a
pseudopregnant rat model. This paradigm results in increased production of endogenous …

Many neurons express a multiplicity of GABAA receptor subunit isoforms. Despite having
only a single source of inhibitory input, the cerebellar granule cell displays, at various stages …

The spinal dorsal horn is the first level of the CNS in which nociceptive input from sensory
afferents is integrated and transmitted. Although inhibitory control in this region has a crucial …

Several protein kinases are known to phosphorylate Ser/Thr residues of certain GABAA
receptor subunits. Yet, the effect of phosphorylation on GABAA receptor function in neurons …

GABAA-mediated miniature IPSCs (mIPSCs) were recorded from layer V pyramidal neurons
of the visual cortex using whole-cell patch-clamp recording in rat brain slices. At room …

Type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA A), the major sites of fast synaptic inhibition in
the brain, are believed to be composed predominantly of α, β, and γ subunits. Although cell …

This book is a colorful journey into the fascinatingly diverse world of interneurons, an
important class of highly heterogeneous cells found in all cortical neuronal networks …
