GABAB-receptors (GABAB-Rs) are metabotropic, G protein-coupled receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA. Their activation induces slow inhibitory control of neuronal excitability mediated by pre- and postsynaptic inhibition. Presynaptically GABAB-Rs reduce GABA glutamate release inhibiting presynaptic Ca2+ channels in both excitatory synapses while induce robust hyperpolarization K+ channels. ac...
GABAB receptors are the G-protein-coupled receptors for GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABAB receptors are abundant on dendritic spines, where they dampen postsynaptic excitability and inhibit Ca2+ influx through NMDA receptors when activated by spillover of GABA from neighboring GABAergic terminals. Here, we show that an excitatory signaling cascade enables spines to ...
GABAB receptors are heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptors, which control neuronal excitability by mediating prolonged inhibition. The magnitude of GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition essentially depends on the amount of receptors in the plasma membrane. However, the factors regulating cell surface expression of GABAB receptors are poorly characterized. Cell surface GABAB receptors are consti...
Whereas most G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are monomeric in structure, y-Aminobutyric acid type B (GABAb) receptors are heterodimers of two seven transmembrane protein subunits, GABAB(i) and GABAB(2>. GABAb receptor function is dependent upon the co-expression of both these proteins which, when individually expressed, are devoid of receptor activity. Desensitisation of cell surface recept...
GABAB receptors mediate slow synaptic inhibition in the nervous system. In transfected cells, functional GABAB receptors are usually only observed after coexpression of GABAB(1) and GABAB(2) subunits, which established the concept of heteromerization for G-protein-coupled receptors. In the heteromeric receptor, GABAB(1) is responsible for binding of GABA, whereas GABAB(2) is necessary for surfa...
The piriform cortex (PC), like other cortical regions, normally operates in a state of dynamic equilibrium between excitation and inhibition. Here we examined the roles played by pre- and postsynaptic GABAB receptors in maintaining this equilibrium in the PC. Using whole-cell recordings in brain slices from the anterior PC of mice, we found that synaptic activation of postsynaptic GABAB recepto...
GABAB receptors are the G-protein-coupled receptors for GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Pharmacological activation of GABAB receptors regulates neurotransmission and neuronal excitability at pre- and postsynaptic sites. Electrophysiological activation of GABAB receptors in brain slices generally requires strong stimulus intensities. This raises the ques...
introduction: the present study investigated the interactive effect of gabab receptors and extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) on foot shock-induced aggression in rats. methods: fifty adult male rats were randomly assigned into 10 groups. groups 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 were exposed to 50 hz, 500 µt elf-emf for 30 days 8h per day while the remaining groups (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) were s...
Cortical inhibition plays an important role in the processing of sensory information, and the enlargement of receptive fields by the in vivo application of GABAB receptor antagonists indicates that GABAB receptors mediate some of this cortical inhibition. Although there is evidence of postsynaptic GABAB receptors on cortical neurons, there is no evidence of GABAB receptors on thalamocortical te...
Background and Aim: The hippocampus is a region of the brain that plays an important role in learning activities, including conditioned place preference (CPP). This area is widely used as the target of the studies on the reinforcing effects of the drugs and narcotics. Considering the wide distribution of GABAB receptors in the hippocampus CA1 region, these receptors are likely to play an import...
