Modulation of GABAA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission by Zn2+ at a dentate gyrus circuit

Zinc (ionic form Zn2+) is a common trace element in the forebrain, and is especially enriched in the hippocampus, a brain structure important for learning and memory. A large amount of vesicular Zn2+ which is thought to be released upon presynaptic depolarisation is found at synapses formed by the a...
