Exploring the transition from inter-ictal to ictal epileptiform discharges(IDs) and how GABAAreceptormediated action affects the onset of IDs will enrich our understanding of epileptogenesis and epilepsy treatment.We ...
The influence of γ-aminobutyric type-A (GABAA) receptors agonist (muscimol hydrobromide, 0.1 μg/0.5 μl) injections into the right or left basolateral amygdala (BLA) on the behavior of high-anxiety (HA) a...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons. The primary drug used to treat PD symptoms is L-DOPA, but side effects such as dyskinesias limit its use. Previous fin...
Aim: To investigate the effects of microinjection of the GABAA receptor agonist muscimol into cerebellar fastigial nucleus (FN) on stress- induced gastric mucosal damage and the underlying mechanism in rats. Method...

The γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter in the spinal cord dorsal horn plays an important role in pain modulation through primary afferent-mediated presynaptic inhibition. The weakening of γ-aminobutyric acid-media...
Aim: To determine whether electrical stimulation of caudal medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) as conditioned stimulus (CS) paired with airpuff unconditioned stimulus (US) was sufficient for establishing eyeblink c...

In this study we investigated whether GABAA receptors of the basolateral amygdala(BLA) interact with the effect of dexamethasone on the retrieval stage of memory.Adult male Wistar rats were bilaterally cannulated in t...
Aim: To investigate the effects of GABA and glycine on analgesia in the central nervous system. Methods: Glycine, taurine, or muscimol was injected with bicuculline into the cistern magna or the lumbar subarachnoida...
