Extrasynaptic GABAA receptors: form, pharmacology, and function.

12 Oct 2009 GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors. Recently, a novel form of GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition, termed "tonic" inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABA(A) ... Read more...

Dynamics of fast and slow inhibition from cerebellar golgi cells allow flexible control of synaptic integration.

22 Sep 2009 Throughout the brain, multiple interneuron types influence distinct aspects of synaptic processing. Interneuron diversity can thereby promote differential firing from neurons receiving common excitation. In contrast, Golgi cells are the sole ... Read more...

Reduction of the postexcitatory cortical inhibition upon paired-click auditory stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease.

17 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were: to investigate the postexcitatory inhibition of cortical evoked potentials on auditory paired-click stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), to analyze the correlation of N1-P2 amplitude ratios ... Read more...
