Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest an important role for ethanol interactions with GABAA receptors in the development of the ethanol withdrawal syndrome. The present study was undertaken to determine whether there is a genetic relationship between ethanol withdrawal seizure severity and the expression of particular GABAA receptor subunits in mouse lines selectively bred for differential sensitivity to ethanol...
