Ethanol Specifically Potentiates GABA-Mediated Neurotransmission in Feline Cerebral Cortex
Abstract
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) potentiates the inhibition of cortical neurons by γ-aminobutyric acid. This effect is specific, since ethanol does not potentiate inhibition by glycine, serotonin, or dopamine. These results have implications for alcoholism because (i) γ-aminobutyric acid mediates anxiolytic mechanisms, and (ii) anxiety is implicated in the etiology of alcoholism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
