1. In the mammalian central nervous system, GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA is a highly flexible molecule and, thus, can exist in many low-energy conformations. Conformationally restricted analogues of GABA have been used to help identify three major

Alterations in the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptor (AMPA-R) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) have been documented in aged animals and may contribute to changes in hippocampal-dependent memory. Growth hormone (GH) regulates AMPA-R and NMDA-R-dependent excitatory transmission and decreases with age. Chronic GH treatment

Three genes encode the small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (SK channels). We have stably expressed hSK1 and rSK2 in HEK 293 cells and addressed the pharmacology of these subtypes using whole-cell patch clamp recordings. The bee venom peptide apamin blocked hSK1

We studied the synaptic pharmacology of an excitatory pathway in the neostriatum using electrophysiological techniques in tissue slices from rats. In response to single electrical stimuli, two negative, extracellular potentials (N-1 and N-2) were recorded through micropipette electrodes within 150-450

This paper describes some functional and pharmacological properties of GABA-mediated mechanisms in the human neocortex maintained in vitro in a slice preparation. Neocortical neurons recorded intracellularly under normal conditions generate stimulus-induced and spontaneous potentials that are mediated by the activation
