To this end, a number of clinical trials are investigating the potential of existing drugs to enhance oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) differentiation, a process that fails in chronic MS lesions. We previously reported that oligodendroglia express GABA(B) receptors (GABA(B)Rs) both in vitro...

Most interestingly, GABAA receptors containing the δ subunit occur exclusively extrasynaptically and are endowed with a very high agonist affinity that renders them very efficient in mediating the tonic currents (Farrant and Nusser, 2005). To study the impact of estradiol on both forms of GABA...

A variety of hypnotic, anesthetic and anticonvulsant drugs interact with a dihydropicrotoxin binding site, and may act as Cl- ionophore agonists. Barbiturates such as pentobarbital and phenobarbital enhance GABA binding in proportion to general anesthetic activity.V.Bhandari Shashikant...
In addition to drugs, changes in GABA B receptors are involved with several disorders of the nervous system. In the early 2000s, scientists discovered that a specific genetic mutation in one of the receptors makes a person far more likely to develop temporal lobe epilepsy, and are more likely...
The specific GABA agonist muscimol induced strong amphetamine-like stimulation and stereotyped behaviour in the nucleus entopeduncularis (EP) (the medial or inner segment of globus pallidus), the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the zona reticulata of substantia nigra (SNR) (49, 50). GABA receptor...
Barbiturates also have an allosteric agonist action on GABAA receptors, in other words they can directly activate the receptor at high concentrations. As a result they are much more dangerous drugs than benzodiazepines, thus benzodiazepines have replaced barbiturates as therapeutic agents. Agents such ...
