Acutely increasing δGABAA receptor activity impairs memory and inhibits synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus

Acutely increasing δGABAA receptor activity impairs memory and inhibits synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus

Extrasynaptic γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors that contain the δ subunit (δGABAA receptors) are expressed in several brain regions including the dentate gyrus (DG) and CA1 subfields of the hippocampus. Drugs that increase δGABAA receptor activity have been proposed as treatments for a v...
