Differential Modulation of GABAA Receptors Underlies Postsynaptic Depolarization- and Purinoceptor-Mediated Enhancement of Cerebellar Inhibitory Transmission: A Non-Stationary Fluctuation Analysis Study. [PDF]
Cerebellar GABAergic inhibitory transmission between interneurons and Purkinje cells (PCs) undergoes a long-lasting enhancement following different stimulations, such as brief depolarization or activation of purinergic receptors of postsynaptic PCs.

Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...

Pathophysiological role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in typical absence epilepsy [PDF]
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. It acts via two classes of receptors, the GABAA, a ligand gated ion channel (ionotropic receptor) and the metabotropic G-protein coupled GABAB receptor.

An autocrine role for pituitary GABA: Activation of GABA-B receptors and regulation of growth hormone levels [PDF]
There is increasing evidence suggesting that the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a local factor involved in the regulation of endocrine organs.

MUSCARINIC LONG-TERM ENHANCEMENT OF TONIC AND PHASIC GABAA INHIBITION IN RAT CA1 PYRAMIDAL NEURONS
Acetylcholine (ACh) regulates network operation in the hippocampus by controlling excitation and inhibition in rat CA1 pyramidal neurons (PCs), the latter through gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABAARs).

The desensitization pathway of GABAA receptors, one subunit at a time
GABAA receptors mediate most inhibitory synaptic transmission in the brain. Here authors used concatemeric α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors to introduce gain-of-desensitization mutations one subunit at a time, revealing non-concerted rearrangements with a key ...

Hederagenin is identified as a GABAA1‐targeting natural compound that suppresses morphine‐associated reward by restraining Ca2+–CaMK–cAMP–CREB signaling in ventral tegmental dopaminergic neurons. RVG29‐modified liposomal delivery further enhances brain accumulation and behavioral efficacy, providing a mechanistically defined strategy for natural ...

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