Abstract:Somatostatin has been reported to modulate GABA A receptor complex in many brain structures. This study was conducted to investigate somatostatin modulation of the GABA A receptor binding in several rat diencephalic structures, focusing primarily on the thalamus, as this structure plays important roles. Animals were assigned to control conditions. Changes in specific binding of GABA A receptor as labelled with [35 S]tButylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS) were assessed by in vitro quantitative autoradiography wi… Show more
