Allopregnanolone and Pentobarbital Infused Into the Nucleus Accumbens Substitute for the Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Ethanol [PDF]

, 2001
BACKGROUND: The discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol are mediated in part by the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor system. We have previously shown that microinjections of the competitive GABA(A) agonist muscimol in the nucleus ...

Aberrant location of inhibitory synaptic marker proteins in the hippocampus of dystrophin-deficient mice [PDF]

, 2014
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease that arises from mutations in the dystrophin-encoding gene. Apart from muscle pathology, cognitive impairment, primarily of developmental origin, is also a significant component of the disorder.

Maternal restraint stress delays maturation of cation-chloride cotransporters and GABAA receptor subunits in the hippocampus of rat pups at puberty

Neurobiology of Stress, 2016
The GABAergic synapse undergoes structural and functional maturation during early brain development. Maternal stress alters GABAergic synapses in the pup's brain that are associated with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders in adults ...

Preclinical pharmacology of alogabat: a novel GABAA-α5 positive allosteric modulator targeting neurodevelopmental disorders with impaired GABAA signaling

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundAlterations in the GABAergic system contribute to the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Angelman syndrome (AS), particularly in cases involving large deletions in the 15q11–13 region ...

The P2X receptor mediated regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]

In the central nervous system ATP can be released by neurons and glial cells through similar pathways as other neurotransmitters. Extracellular ATP targets P2X purinoreceptors, causing an influx of Ca2+ ions which transmit very important messages for ...

Biochemical and functional studies of a novel complement inhibitor, CRIT, with its interaction partners [PDF]

, 2005
Complement C2 receptor trispanning (CRIT), a three transmembrane receptor, was first discovered on the surface of the parasite Schistosoma haematobium and formerly termed Schistosoma trispanning orphan receptor (Sh-TOR). This receptor acts as decoy C2-

Segregation of acetylcholine and GABA in the rat superior cervical ganglia: functional correlation.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Sympathetic neurons have the capability to segregate their neurotransmitters (NTs) and co-transmitters to separate varicosities of single axons; furthermore, in culture, these neurons can even segregate classical transmitters. In vivo sympathetic neurons

Modulating anxiety with extrasynaptic inhibition [PDF]

, 2014
Traumatic experiences and stress can lead to complex behavioral adaptations, including increased levels of anxiety and fear generalization. The neuronal mechanisms underlying such maladaptive behavioral changes are, however, poorly understood.

Understanding the relationship between lung GABAA receptors and aquaporin-1: a new therapeutic approach for acute lung injury

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of the GABAA receptor and the potential relationship between GABA/ GABAA receptor signalling and aquaporin-1 in acute lung injury (ALI).

Generation of recombinant antibodies to rat GABAA receptor subunits by affinity selection on synthetic peptides.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The abundance and physiological importance of GABAA receptors in the central nervous system make this neurotransmitter receptor an attractive target for localizing diagnostic and therapeutic biomolecules.
