Selective Alterations in GABA<sub>A</sub>Receptor Subtypes in Human Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
15 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is associated with impaired inhibitory neurotransmission. Studies in animal models suggest that GABA(A) receptor dysfunction contributes to epileptogenesis. To understand the mechanisms underlying TLE in humans, it is fundamental to determine whether and how GABA(A) receptor subtypes are altered. Furthermore, identifying novel receptor targets is a prerequisite for developing...
