GABA deficiency in NF1: a multimodal [11C]-Flumazenil and spectroscopy study [PDF]
Objective: To provide a comprehensive investigation of the GABA system in patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) that allows understanding the nature of the GABA imbalance in humans at pre- and post-synaptic levels. Methods: In this cross-sectional

Comparison of postoperative nausea and vomiting between remimazolam and propofol: a propensity score-matched, retrospective, observational, single-center cohort study [PDF]
Background Remimazolam is a novel ultrashort-acting benzodiazepine that has recently become available for general anesthesia. However, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) associated with remimazolam remains unknown.

Antagonistic effect of flumazenil on tiletamine-zolazepam-induced anaesthesia in Beagle dogs
Benzodiazepines exert hypnotic/sedative effects through their inhibitory actions on the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type A. Since flumazenil antagonises these effects through competitive inhibition of the receptor, it has been used to reverse the effect

Flavonoids as GABAA receptor ligands: the whole story? [PDF]
Benzodiazepines are the most widely prescribed class of psychoactive drugs in current therapeutic use, despite the important unwanted side effects that they produce, such as sedation, myorelaxation, ataxia, amnesia, and ethanol and barbiturate ...

Gamma oscillations in V1 are correlated with GABA(A) receptor density: A multi-modal MEG and Flumazenil-PET study. [PDF]
High-frequency oscillations in the gamma-band reflect rhythmic synchronization of spike timing in active neural networks. The modulation of gamma oscillations is a widely established mechanism in a variety of neurobiological processes, yet its ...
