volume 121 | number 5 | May 2013 • Environmental Health Perspectives Erratum: Williams et al. “RDX Binds to the GABAA Receptor–Convulsant Site and Blocks GABAA Receptor–Mediated Currents in the Amygdala: A Mechanism for RDX‐Induced Seizures” [119:357–363 (2011)] In Figure 2 of the paper by Williams et al. [Environ Health Perspect 119:357–363 (2011)], the units for “Brain RDX concentration” (y‐axis) should have been micrograms per gram wet weight (μg/g ww) instead of micrograms per milligram wet weight (μg/mg ww). The corrected Figure 2 is shown below.

RDX Binds to the GABAA Receptor–Convulsant Site and Blocks GABAA Receptor–Mediated Currents in the Amygdala: A Mechanism for RDX-Induced Seizures
BACKGROUND Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a high-energy, trinitrated cyclic compound that has been used worldwide since World War II as an explosive in both military and civilian applications. RDX can be released in the environment by way of waste streams generated during the manufacture, use, and disposal of RDX-containing munitions and can leach into groundwater from unexplo...
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...
متن کاملSuvorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, protected seizure through interaction with GABAA and glutamate receptors
Orexin can increase neuronal excitability and induce epileptic activity. In this study, the effects of suvorexant (orexin receptor antagonist) on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizure were investigated. Mice were divided into 5 groups of six animals each including normal saline (10 ml/kg), diazepam (2 mg/kg) and suvorexant (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) groups. In PTZ ...

متن کاملIs the pain modulatory action of 17β-estradiol in locus coeruleus of male rats is mediated by GABAA receptors?
Introduction: Estradiol is a neuroactive steroid, which is found in several brain areas such as locus coeruleus (LC). Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to its receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membranebound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. LC is involved in noradrenergic descending pain modulation. Methods: In order to study the effect of 17β-estra...
