Methods for recording and measuring tonic GABA¬A receptor-mediated inhibition [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Tonic inhibitory conductances mediated by GABAA receptors have now been identified and characterised in many different brain regions. Most experimental studies of tonic GABAergic inhibition have been carried out using acute brain slice preparations but ...

The amount of astrocytic GABA positively correlates with the degree of tonic inhibition in hippocampal CA1 and cerebellum [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2011
A tonic form of synaptic inhibition occurs in discrete regions of the central nervous system and has an important role in controlling neuronal excitability.

GAT-3 Dysfunction Generates Tonic Inhibition in External Globus Pallidus Neurons in Parkinsonian Rodents

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: The external globus pallidus (GP) is a key GABAergic hub in the basal ganglia (BG) circuitry, a neuronal network involved in motor control. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), the rate and pattern of activity of GP neurons are profoundly altered and ...

Activity-Dependent Modulation of Tonic GABA Currents by Endocannabinoids in Hirudo verbana

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2022
Endocannabinoids are lipid neuromodulators that are synthesized on demand and primarily signal in a retrograde manner to elicit depression of excitatory and inhibitory synapses.

Metabotropic Regulation of Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
A large body of work now shows the importance of GABAA receptor-mediated tonic inhibition in regulating CNS function. However, outside of pathological conditions, there is relatively little evidence that the magnitude of tonic inhibition is itself under ...

Pathophysiological power of improper tonic GABAA conductances in mature and immature models

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
High-affinity extrasynaptic gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptors are tonically activated by low and consistent levels of ambient GABA, mediating chronic inhibition against neuronal excitability (tonic inhibition) and the modulation of neural ...

Blocking Astrocytic GABA Restores Synaptic Plasticity in Prefrontal Cortex of Rat Model of Depression

open access: yesCells, 2020
A decrease in synaptic plasticity and/or a change in excitation/inhibition balance have been suggested as mechanisms underlying major depression disorder.

Extrasynaptic δ-subunit containing GABAA receptors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
γ-Aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are GABA gated heteropentameric chloride channels responsible for the adult brain’s primary inhibition.

The impact of tonic GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition on neuronal excitability varies across brain region and cell type

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
The diversity of GABAA receptor (GABAAR) subunits and the numerous configurations during subunit assembly give rise to a variety of receptors with different functional properties. This heterogeneity results in variations in GABAergic conductances across
