    Edited by Adam C. Errington, Giuseppe Di Giovanni, Vincenzo Crunelli ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABAA and GABAB receptors. Recently, a novel form of GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition, termed “tonic” inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABAA receptors underlie classical “phasic” GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition (inhibitory postsynaptic currents), tonic GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition results from the ...
