When administered microelectrophoretically, a sulphonic acid derivative of baclofen, 3-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-propylsulphonic acid, reversibly reduced the presynaptic reduction by (-)-baclofen of the monosynaptic excitation of spinal interneurones by impulses in low threshold primary afferent fibres of the cat as well as the

In the mature nervous system excitatory neurotransmission mediated by glutamate is balanced by the inhibitory actions of GABA. However, during early development, GABA acting at the ligand-gated GABAA Cl- channel also exerts excitatory actions. This raises a question as to

Inhaled anesthetics, including the gaseous anesthetics nitrous oxide and xenon, are thought to act by interacting directly with ion-channel receptors. In contrast, little is known about the mechanism of action of inert gases that show only narcotic potency at high

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibits insulin secretion through GABA(B) receptors in pancreatic β-cells. We investigated whether GABA(B) receptors participated in the regulation of glucose homeostasis in vivo. BALB/c mice acutely pre-injected with the GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen (7.5mg/kg, i.p.) presented glucose

1. To investigate the mechanisms for the coding stimulus sequence in the auditory cortex (AC), post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) was recorded after sequentially combined heterosynaptic stimulation was applied in rat AC slices. 2. Brief tetanic stimulation (TS) was applied at two
