From ion currents to genomic analysis: Recent advances in GABAA receptor research

TL;DR: The description of a receptor gene superfamily comprising the subunits of the GABAA, nicotinic acetylcholine, and glycine receptors has led to a new way of thinking about gene expression and receptor assembly in the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structural and functional heterogeneity of glutamic acid decarboxylase: a review.

TL;DR: Studies of the GABA-synthetic enzyme glutamate decarboxylase have demonstrated the structural and functional heterogeneity of brain GAD, and at least part of this heterogeneity derives from the existence of two GAD genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional distribution of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in brain of the rhesus monkey.

TL;DR: The concentrations of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in twenty different regions of Rhesus monkey brain were studied and indirect evidence supporting an inhibitory transmitter role for GABA is discussed.
Book ChapterDOI

Amino Acid Transmitters

TL;DR: This analysis focuses on synapses where a transmitter or “mediator” function of amino acids is considered to be very likely and amino acids well suited to this function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localized action of gamma-aminobutyric acid on the crayfish muscle

TL;DR: The present experiments were designed to determine the site of action of GABA on crayfish muscle by using iontophoretic application from a non-specific depressant, suggesting a specific role of GABA in inhibitory transmission.

Synaptic inhibition in an isolated nerve cell

TL;DR: The results support previous conclusions that during stretch the dendrites provide a persisting "drive" for the more central portions of the receptor cell, and that antidromic all-or-none impulses do not penetrate into the distal portions of stretch-depolarized dendrite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-aminobutyric acid and other blocking compounds in crustacea. iii. their relative concentrations in separated motor and inhibitory axons.

TL;DR: This study isolated individual axons from separated motor and inhibitory axons and found that motor fibers contained no GABA while inhibitory neurons contained surprisingly high concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the distribution of factor I and acetylcholine in crustacean peripheral nerve.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the factor I of crustacean nerve is an exclusive property of the inhibitory fibers and the results support the assumption that factor I is the transmitter substance of inhibitory neurons in these animals.
