Abstract excerpt
Volatile anesthetics and alcohols enhance transmission mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABA(A)Rs) in the central nervous system, an effect that may underlie some of the behavioral actions of these agents. Substituting a critical serine residue within the GABA(A)R alpha(1) su...
