Epilepsia, 48 Suppl 5, 96-105 (2007-10-04)
The timing of the developmental switch in the GABA(A) mediated responses from excitatory to inhibitory was studied in Wistar rat CA3 hippocampal pyramidal cells using gramicidin perforated patch-clamp and extracellular recordings. Gramicidin perforated patch recordings revealed a gradual developmental shift

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) plays an important role in movement control by exerting its excitatory influence on the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNR), a major output structure of the basal ganglia. Moreover, excessive burst firing of SNR neurons seen in

GABAergic excitatory [K(+)](o) transients can be readily evoked in the mature rat hippocampus by intense activation of GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs). Here we show that these [K(+)](o) responses induced by high-frequency stimulation or GABA(A) agonist application are generated by the neuronal

Experientia, 34(9), 1193-1195 (1978-09-15)
The GABA-mimetic activities of 4 analogues muscimol, isonipecotic acid, isoguvacine and N-methyl isoguvacine have been examined at the GABA receptor in the rat isolated superior cervical ganglion. The depolarizing action of all 4 analogues could be selectively antagonized by bicuculline
