Abstract excerpt
The effect of the gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake inhibitor tiagabine hydrochloride was studied on electrical responses in cortical wedges prepared from 20-30 day-old, audiogenic seizure-prone DBA/2 mice. Perfusion of tiagabine (50 microM) for 15 min, evoked large, slow depolarizations with a frequency of 6-8/h which persisted for 4-5 h. The GABA(A) receptor antagonists, bicuculline (10 microM) and picrotoxin (100...
