Reduced hippocampal GABAergic function in Wistar audiogenic rats.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder associated with excitatory and inhibitory imbalance within the underlying neural network. This study evaluated inhibitory γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)ergic modulation in the CA1 region of the hippocampus of male Wistar rats and Wistar audiogenic rats (aged 90 ± 3 days), a strain of inbred animals susceptible to audiogenic seizures. Field excitatory postsynapti...

متن کاملBehavioral and EEG effects of GABAergic manipulation of the nigrotectal pathway in the Wistar audiogenic rat strain
The superior colliculus (SC), substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNPr), and striatum have been characterized as important structures involved in the modulation of seizure activity. In the current study, bicuculline (GABA(A) antagonist) and muscimol (GABA(A) agonist) were microinjected into the deep layers of either the anterior SC (aSC) or posterior SC (pSC) of genetically developed Wistar audio...
متن کاملFluoxetine impairs GABAergic signaling in hippocampal slices from neonatal rats
Fluoxetine (Prozac), an antidepressant known to selectively inhibit serotonin reuptake, is widely used to treat mood disorders in women suffering from depression during pregnancy and postpartum period. Several lines of evidence suggest that this drug, which crosses the human placenta and is secreted into milk during lactation, exerts its action not only by interfering with serotoninergic but al...
متن کاملAPP modulates KCC2 expression and function in hippocampal GABAergic inhibition
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is enriched at the synapse, but its synaptic function is still poorly understood. We previously showed that GABAergic short-term plasticity is impaired in App knock-out (App-/-) animals, but the precise mechanism by which APP regulates GABAergic synaptic transmission has remained elusive. Using electrophysiological, biochemical, moleculobiological, and pharmacolo...
