Two Distinct Populations of α1α6-Containing GABAA-Receptors in Rat Cerebellum

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020
GABAA receptors are pentameric GABA-gated chloride channels. The existence of 19 different subunits (six α, three β, three γ, δ, ε, θ, π, and three ρ) in mammalian systems gives rise to an enormous theoretical diversity of GABAA receptor subtypes with ...

Hydrocarbon molar water solubility predicts NMDA vs. GABAA receptor modulation. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundMany anesthetics modulate 3-transmembrane (such as NMDA) and 4-transmembrane (such as GABAA) receptors. Clinical and experimental anesthetics exhibiting receptor family specificity often have low water solubility. We hypothesized that the molar

Multiple and plastic receptors mediate tonic GABAA receptor currents in the hippocampus [PDF]

, 2005
Persistent activation of GABAA receptors by extracellular GABA (tonic inhibition) plays a critical role in signal processing and network excitability in the brain.

A computational study on altered theta-gamma coupling during learning and phase coding [PDF]

, 2012
There is considerable interest in the role of coupling between theta and gamma oscillations in the brain in the context of learning and memory. Here we have used a neural network model which is capable of producing coupling of theta phase to gamma ...

PGE2 Modulates GABAA Receptors via an EP1 Receptor-Mediated Signaling Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Aims: PGE2 is one of the most abundant prostanoids in mammalian tissues, but its effect on neuronal receptors has not been well investigated. This study examines the effect of PGE2 on GABAA receptor currents in rat cerebellar granule neurons.

GABAA Receptor Subunits in Rat Testis and Sperm [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2008
Background γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered to be the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous systems (CNS). There are two major classes of GABA receptors: GABAARs and GABABRs.

Multiple functional neurosteroid binding sites on GABAA receptors [PDF]

, 2019
Neurosteroids are endogenous modulators of neuronal excitability and nervous system development and are being developed as anesthetic agents and treatments for psychiatric diseases.

Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) can affect physiological processes in preimplantation embryos via GABAA and GABAB receptors

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2023
Purpose Several widely used substances (e.g., some therapeutics or food supplements) can act on gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, and we investigated whether the activation of these receptors could affect the preimplantation embryo.

Excitatory and inhibitory receptors utilize distinct post- and trans-synaptic mechanisms in vivo

eLife, 2021
Ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors at postsynapses mediate fast synaptic transmission upon binding of the neurotransmitter. Post- and trans-synaptic mechanisms through cytosolic, membrane, and secreted proteins have been proposed to localize ...

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]

, 2011
Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.
