Release your inhibitions: The cell biology of GABAergic postsynaptic plasticity

Abstract excerpt

GABAergic synaptic inhibition controls circuit function by regulating neuronal plasticity , excitability, and firing. To achieve these goals, inhibitory synapses themselves undergo several forms of plasticity via diverse mechanisms, strengthening and weakening phasic inhibition in response to numerous activity-induced stimuli. These mechanisms include changing the number and arrangement of functional GABA A Rs...
