GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition of GABAA receptor calcium elevations in developing hypothalamic neurons.
In the CNS, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) affects neuronal activity through both the ligand-gated GABAA receptor channel and the G protein-coupled GABAB receptor. In the mature nervous system, both receptor subtypes decrease neural excitability, whereas in most neurons during development, the GABAA receptor increases neural excitability and raises cytosolic Ca2+ levels. We used Ca2+ digital im...
متن کاملGABAA receptor-mediated tonic inhibition in thalamic neurons.
Tonic GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition is typically generated by delta subunit-containing extrasynaptic receptors. Because the delta subunit is highly expressed in the thalamus, we tested whether thalamocortical (TC) neurons of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and ventrobasal complex exhibit tonic inhibition. Focal application of gabazine (GBZ) (50 microM) revealed the presence of...
متن کاملHypothalamic Hamartomas: Two Cases
This is a MRI study of two patients presented with history of gelastic seizures since many years ago. Plain and post intravenous gadolinium multiplanar MRI imaging of the brain is performed. It showed well-defined non-enhancing mass lesions in the region of hypothalamus and tuber cinereum. It showed signal intensity similar to the gray matter and imaging diagnosis of hypothalamic hamartoma is m...

متن کاملPlasticity in GABAA receptor subunit mRNA expression by hypothalamic magnocellular neurons in the adult rat.
The magnocellular hypothalamic neurons exhibit a substantial degree of structural and functional plasticity over the time of pregnancy, parturition, and lactation. This study has used in situ hybridization techniques to examine whether the content of alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 2, gamma 2 GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs expressed by these cells fluctuates over this period. A process of regional, follow...
