Scope and Contents

Contents

Neuroactive steroids are potent modulators of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABA A Rs), and their behavioral effects are generally viewed in terms of altered inhibitory synaptic transmission. Here we report that, at concentrations known to occur in vivo , neuroactive steroids specifically enhance a tonic inhibitory conductance in central ne...
