摘要: The gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype A (GABAA) receptor is widely considered to be an important target for most clinically effective sedative-hypnotic compounds, including general anesthetics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and gaboxadol or THIP (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo (5,4-c)pyridin-3-ol). GABAA receptors are highly expressed in anatomical regions that implicated sleep processes, notably the thalamus. Furthermore, concentrations of these drugs modify behavior vivo also increase GABA-induced inhibitory conductances vitro. This review will summarize functional, regional distribution, pharmacologic properties various classes receptors. Particular emphasis placed on subpopulations extrasynaptic neurons, as exquisitely sensitive several compounds. Evidence date suggests can broadly classified into two groups; those containing delta subunit non-delta subunit-containing Finally, probable contribution modulation considered.
