Ionic Mechanisms of Neuronal Excitation by Inhibitory GABA A Receptors

Staley, Kevin J., Soldo, Brandi L., Proctor, William R.·1995·Science

Abstract

Gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) receptors are the principal mediators of synaptic inhibition, and yet when intensely activated, dendritic GABA A receptors excite rather than inhibit neurons. The membrane depolarization mediated by GABA A receptors is a result of the differential, activity-dependent collapse of the opposing concentration gradients of chloride and bicarbonate, the anions that permeate the GABA A ionophore. Because this depolarization diminishes the voltage-dependent block of the N -methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor by magnesium, the activity-dependent depolarization mediated by GABA is sufficient to account for frequency modulation of synaptic NMDA receptor activation. Anionic gradient shifts may represent a mechanism whereby the rate and coherence of synaptic activity determine whether dendritic GABA A receptor activation is excitatory or inhibitory.

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.
