This study examined whether insulin modulates the neurochemical effects of nicotine in the mesolimbic pathway of diabetic rats. The rats received vehicle or streptozotocin (STZ) to induce hypoinsulinemia. A subset of STZ-treated rats was implanted with insulin pellets that rapidly

We have studied the properties of GABA responses in oligodendrocyte-type 2 astrocyte (O-2A) progenitor cells derived from primary cultures of the neonatal rat brain. In whole cell voltage clamp recordings, rapid application of 1-10 mM GABA elicited current responses in

Interactions of GABA, bicuculline methochloride and diazepam with [3H]TBOB binding to rat brain membranes were evaluated in vitro. GABA displaced [3H]TBOB binding with and IC50 of 4 microM and a slope factor near unity. The competitive GABA antagonist bicuculline methochloride

Subunit composition of subsynaptic transmitter receptors is controlled presynaptically in the developing neuromuscular junction. To investigate presynaptic regulation of NMDA receptor subunit composition in the CNS, we co-cultured different types of hippocampal explants with dissociated target neurons. Postsynaptic NMDA receptors

The kinetics of t-[3H]butylbicycloorthobenzoate (TBOB) binding to the convulsant sites of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor-ionophore complex were examined in synaptosomal membrane preparations of rat brain. On and off rates of TBOB binding were accelerated by 1 microM GABA and
