Gama amino butyric acid (GABA) inhibition plays an important role in the onset and offset of the critical period for ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the primary visual cortex. Previous studies have focused on the involvement of GABAA receptors, while the potential contribution of GABAB receptors to OD plasticity has been neglected. In this study, the GABAB receptor antagonist SCH50911 or ag...
GABAB receptors are the G protein-coupled receptors for the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Molecular diversity in the GABAB system arises from the GABAB1a and GABAB1b subunit isoforms that solely differ in their ectodomains by a pair of sushi repeats that is unique to GABAB1a. Using a combined genetic, physiological, and morphological approach, we...
PURPOSE Ghrelin has been shown to have antiepileptic function. However, the underlying mechanisms by which, ghrelin exerts its antiepileptic effects are still unclear. In the present study; we investigated antiepileptic mechanism of ghrelin through GABAB receptors using CGP35348 (selective GABAB receptor antagonist). METHODS Male Wistar rats' hippocampi were bilaterally microinjected with the...
OBJECTIVES Central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) is the most important region for morphine-induced reward, and GABAergic system plays an important role on morphine reinforcement. The influence of CeA administration of GABAB receptor agonist and antagonist on the expression and acquisition of morphine-induced incentive tolerance using conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm was investigated in t...
the present work was performed to show the possible interaction of gab a, and gabab receptors in catalepsy. the following results were obtained: 1- muscimol (mus), a gabaa agonist, induced catalepsy. this effect was dose-dependent. baclofen (bac), a gabab agonist, had no effect in this respect. 2- catalepsy induced by muscimol was potentiated by pretreatment of animals with bicuculline (bic), a...
The hypothetical modulation by GABAergic neurons of yawning behavior in the rat was explored with GABA-active drugs. Gamma-acetylenic-GABA, a specific inhibitor of GABA-T, increases yawning frequency when injected at a dose of 7 mg/kg. Baclofen, a GABAB agonist (3 mg/kg), inhibits yawning completely; GABA antagonists, bicuculline and picrotoxin, at subconvulsant doses, also decrease yawning. Al...
It is now well established that G protein-coupled receptors can exist not only as homodimers, but also as heterodimers or higher order oligomers. However, whether and how dimerization of the receptors is regulated is poorly understood. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, the team of Marc Landry provides evidence for an intriguing mechanism by which—under pathological conditions—GABAB receptor he...
Considerable evidence suggests that the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic system and pedunculopontine tegmentum (PPT) in the brain stem are critically involved in the regulation of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. GABA and its various receptors are normally present in the PPT cholinergic cell compartment. The aim of this study was to identify the role of GABA and its receptor...
Quantitative receptor autoradiography using [3H]GABA under selective conditions was used to characterize the pharmacology, distribution, cellular localization, and development of GABAB binding sites in rodent cerebellum. Pharmacologic analysis of [3H]GABA binding showed that drugs active at GABAB receptors displaced [3H]GABA with the following order of potency: 3-aminopropylphosphonous acid > C...
