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
Anesthesia and analgesia, 96(3), 746-749 (2003-02-25)
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
Journal of neurophysiology, 87(3), 1175-1185 (2002-03-06)
Using intracellular recordings in an isolated (in vitro) rat brain stem preparation, we examined the synaptic responses of developing relay neurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). In newborn rats, strong stimulation of the optic tract (OT) evoked excitatory
This study evaluated the capacity of mu-opioid and glutamate receptor agonists to differentially regulate the involvement of the GABAergic projection from the ventral pallidum to the mediodorsal thalamus in working memory and locomotor activity. Microinjection of either the ionotropic glutamate
