The amino acid -aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in the regulation of the GnRH neurons. We examined whether GABA depolarizes or hyperpolarizes GnRH neurons over postnatal development using gramicidin, perforatedpatch electrophysiology combined with GnRH-LacZ transgenic mice in whom GnRH neurons can be made to fluoresce. The basic membrane properties and GABA responsiveness of Gn...
