Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This article uses a direct ethanol antagonist, increased atmospheric pressure, to further test the causative link between ethanol potentiation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor function and ethanol's behavioral effects. This was done by determining whether initial biochemical findings in long-sleep (LS) mice extended to other genotypes and whether the previously reported insensitivity...
