The past decade has brought many advances in our understanding of GABA A receptor-
mediated ethanol action in the central nervous system. We now know that specific GABA A …

As it was established that aging is not associated with massive neuronal loss, as was
believed in the mid‐20th Century, scientific interest has addressed the influence of aging on …

Recent advances in molecular biology and complementary information derived from
neuropharmacology, biochemistry and behavior have dramatically increased our …

The relation between changes in brain and plasma concentrations of neurosteroids and the
function and structure of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors in the brain during …

In this article we present a comprehensive review of relevant research and reports on the
GABAA receptor in the aged and Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. In comparison to …

Pharmacotherapy in the elderly requires an understanding of the age-dependent changes in
function and composition of the body. Aging is characterised by a progressive loss of …

γ-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors are the most important inhibitory receptors in
the central nervous system, playing a pivotal role in the regulation of brain excitability. The …

Visual function declines with age. Using extracellular single-unit in vivo recordings, we
compared the function of primary visual cortical (area 17) cells in young and old paralyzed …

A decline in the ability to discriminate speech from noise due to age-related hearing loss
(presbycusis) may reflect impaired auditory information processing within the central …

Electrophysiological studies indicate that a decline of GABAergic inhibition in the visual
cortex may underlie age-related degradation of visual function [AG Leventhal, Y. Wang, M …
