Although astrocytes express γ-aminobutyric acid subtype-A (GABAA) receptors in the mature
brain, GABAA receptor expression in a cultivation state remains controversial. In this study …

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is considered to be the major inhibitory neurotransmitter
that is synthesized in and released from GABA-ergic neurons in the brain. However, recent …

GABAA receptors were characterized in cellular fractions isolated from adult bovine brain.
The fraction enriched in cortical astrocytes is very rich in high‐affinity binding sites for [3H] …

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) mediating a
variety of homeostatic functions, such as spatial K+ buffering or neurotransmitter reuptake. In …

GABA receptors are distributed widely throughout the central nervous system on a variety of
cell types. It has become increasingly clear that astrocytes, both in cell culture and tissue …

The properties of GABA receptor-mediated responses were examined in noncultured
astrocytes, acutely isolated from the mature rat hippocampus. Whole-cell patch clamping …

GABAB receptor subunits are widely expressed on neurons throughout the central nervous
system (CNS), at both pre-and postsynaptic sites, where they mediate the late and slow …

GABA (γ‐aminobutyric acid) is a transmitter with dual action. Whereas it excites neurons
during the first week of postnatal development, it represents the major inhibitory transmitter …

By using the Ca 2+-sensitive indictor Fura-2/AM, the cytosolic Ca 2+ levels [Ca 2+] i were
measured in type 1 astrocytes in rat cortical astroglial primary cultures, after stimulation with …

The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA activated Cl− currents in oligodendrocytes and their
precursor cells. Most of the pharmacological features of these GABA‐evoked currents …
