Astrocytic GABA receptors

Glia, 1994
AbstractGABA receptors are distributed widely throughout the central nervous system on a variety of cell types. It has become increasingly clear that astrocytes, both in cell culture and tissue slices, express abundant GABAA receptors. In astrocytes, GABA activates Cl−‐specific channels that are modulated by barbiturates and benzodiazepines; however ...

GABA-receptive microglia selectively sculpt developing inhibitory circuits

Cell, 2020
Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, have emerged as crucial regulators of synaptic refinement and brain wiring. However, whether the remodeling of distinct synapse types during development is mediated by specialized microglia is unknown ...

Reducing GABA Receptors

Life Sciences, 2003
A number of important drugs act on GABA(A) receptors, pentameric GABA-gated chloride channels assembled from among 19 known subunits. In trying to discover the roles in the brain of the subunits and their combinations, with the goal of developing more selective drugs, one tool has been to reduce expression of the subunits and examine the functional ...

Vertebrate GABA receptors

Neurochemical Research, 1978
Physiologic-pharmacologic studies in vivo and with tissue cultures have revealed that synaptic GABA receptors exist in the vertebrate CNS. The GABA antagonist, bicuculline, can be used to detect synaptic GABA receptors in both the presence and absence of Na+, even though GABA binding to cerebral subcellular fractions occurs mainly to transport (uptake)

The 'ABC' of GABA receptors.

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2000
In the conventional view, GABA acts at either ionotropic GABAA or metabotropic GABAB receptors. Recently, novel ionotropic GABA receptors that are composed of rho-subunits have been identified in the vertebrate retina. These bicuculline- and baclofen-insensitive GABA receptors are frequently called GABAC, following an early suggestion by Graham ...

Presynaptic Ionotropic GABA Receptors

2007
Following the classical work on presynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord, recent work has revealed an astonishing abundance and diversity of presynaptic ionotropic GABA receptors. While modern techniques allow for detailed studies at the cellular and molecular level in almost all regions of the CNS, our understanding of the function of such receptors ...
