Immunoreactivity for the GABAA receptor alpha1 subunit, somatostatin and Connexin36 distinguishes axoaxonic, basket, and bistratified interneurons of the rat hippocampus.
Parvalbumin (PV)-expressing interneurons synchronize cortical neurons through gamma-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) synapses. Three types of PV-containing interneurons populate stratum pyramidale of the hippocampal CA1 area: basket cells targeting somata and proximal dendrites, axoaxonic cells innervating axon initial segments, and bistratified cells targeting the dendrites of pyramidal cell...
متن کاملPrenatal stress increased γ2 GABAA receptor subunit gene expression in hippocampus and potentiated pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure in rats
Objective(s): Stress during pregnancy is able to bring extensive effects on neurobehavioral development in offspring. The GABAergic system plays a pivotal role in neuronal excitability, which can be affected by prenatal stress (PS). This study aimed to evaluate impact of the PS on γ2 subunit of gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor gene expression in the hippocamp...

The effect of prolonged benzodiazepine administration on GABAA receptor subunit (a1–6, b1–3, g2) messenger RNAs was investigated in the rat hippocampus and cortex, among other brain areas. Rats were orally administered flurazepam for one week, a protocol which results in benzodiazepine anticonvulsant tolerance in vivo, and in the hippocampus in vitro, in the absence of behavioral signs of withd...
متن کاملO7: Functional Characterization of Human GABAA Autoantibodies in the Context of Limbic Encephalitis
Limbic encephalitis is an adaptive autoimmune disease, induced by different autoantibodies, which target extracellular neuronal epitopes, such as NMDA or GABAB receptors1,2. Recently our group found another human antibody, which binds to the α1 subunit of the GABAA receptor. Since the GABAA receptor is responsible for the majority of fast inhibitory neurotransmission, we investigated chan...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Gaba and Glutamate Receptors in the Synapses of Hippocampal Interneurons
2 Summary Hippocampal glutamatergic pyramidal cells receive input from several types of GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid)-releasing interneurons (IN-s) and innervate them reciprocally. Our goal was to characterise the receptor content that plays a role in the synaptic interactions of these neurons. Pyramidal cells expressing different GABA A receptors receive input on their axon initial segment f...
