摘要: In this study, the neuromodulatory effects of progesterone were tested in an intact neuronal circuit a model extrahypothalamic CNS area. Spontaneous discharge and responses single cerebellar Purkinje neurons to microiontophoretically applied gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) glutamate monitored before, during after either systemic injection, at physiologic doses, or local application steroid. By both means administration, significantly enhanced inhibitory cells GABA suppressed excitation within 3-10 min post-steroid. These results are consistent with anxiolytic actions
