Application

SB 205384 was used to study GABA-gated currents in rat locus coeruleus neurons.6

Biochem/physiol Actions

SB 205384 is a selective and positive allosteric modulator of non-benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.3 It affects the extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in rat cortical neurons4 and enhances the GABAergic transmission onto pro-opiomelanocortin neurons in mice.5
GABAA receptor modulator selective for the α3β2γ2 subunit combination.

We examined the maturation of GABAA receptor synapses in cortical pyramidal neurons cultured from embryonic rats. The decay kinetics of GABAA receptor-mediated miniature postsynaptic currents (mPSCs) were compared with those of responses evoked by GABA in excised membrane patches. Fast

Miniature GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) in cortical pyramidal neurons have previously been categorized into two types: small amplitude mIPSCs with a mono-exponential deactivation (mono-mIPSCs) and relatively larger mIPSCs with bi-exponential deactivation (bi-mIPSCs). The aim of this study was

GABA-A receptors are involved in the control of aggressive behaviour. Various studies suggest a role for a1-containing GABA-A receptors in modulating aggression. However, the possible involvement of a3 subunit of GABA-A receptors has not been examined. In this study, we
