Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence suggests that abnormal expression of GABA(A) receptors may underlie epileptogenesis. We observed previously that rats selectively bred to be seizure-prone naturally overexpressed, as adults, GABA alpha subunits (alpha2, alpha3, and alpha5) seen at birth, whereas those selected to be seizure-resistant overexpressed the adult, alpha1 subunit. In this experiment, we gathered GABA miniature IPSCs...
