Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElectromagnetic Field and Γ Aminobutyric Acid a Receptors Interaction in the Fear ResponseM. Taherianfard, A. Bahaodini, M. Fazeli et al.Freezing behavior is a fearful reaction to specific stimuli, most commonly observed by animals. One of the neurotransmission system most consistently linked with fear response is the GABAergic system, in which GABA through GABAA receptor can influence fear response. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of IP injection of muscimol (GABAA agonist) and bicuculline (GABAA … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,515 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModulation of the GABAA Receptor by Srif in Rat ThalamusFatiha Chigr, Mariama El Ouahli, Ghizlane Er-Raoui et al.Somatostatin has been reported to modulate GABAA receptor complex in many brain structures. This study was conducted to investigate somatostatin modulation of the GABAA receptor binding in several rat diencephalic structures, focusing primarily on the thalamus, as this structure plays important roles. Animals were assigned to control conditions. Changes in specific binding of GABAA receptor as labelled with [35S]t-Butylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS) … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 6,963 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,166 accessesView PDF Cite
