## Abstract Ξ³βAminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor binding was increased in postmortem brain samples of chronic alcoholic patients compared to control patients. Numbers of binding sites were augmented in alcoholic brain, with no change in affinity. Muscarinic cholinergic and benzodiazepine receptors d

A cDNA encoding an ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor subunit was isolated from a lobster (Homarus americanus) cDNA library. A longer version of this cDNA, containing a 108-bp insert, was also detected. The two cDNAs are predicted to encode alternatively spliced proteins of 485 and 5
The effect of carbachol on the spontaneous release of 3 H-GABA was investigated on rat globus pallidus (GP) slices. Carbachol dose-dependently enhanced the release of 3 H-GABA. The carbachol (5 3 10 24 M) induced 3 H-GABA release is mediated by muscarinic receptors since atropine (10 26 M), pirenzep
Among insect GABA receptors, the GABA-gated chloride channel subtype is insensitive to bicuculline and has been thought to be composed of two populations because of differences in chloride conductance increase, GABA and picrotoxin (PTX) sensitivity. To characterize this possible diversity in GABA-ga
