NIH Director's Seminar Series: Molecular regulation of synaptic inhibition
The vast majority of fast inhibitory transmission in the brain is mediated by GABA acting on GABAA receptors (GABAARs), which provides inhibitory balance to excitatory drive and controls neuronal output. Dysregulations of GABAARs and inhibitory synapses have been implicated in a variety of brain disorders, such as epilepsy, anxiety and depression. Pharmacological intervention for these disorders relies on several drug classes that target GABAARs, such as benzodiazepines and neurosteroids. The goal of Lu laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of GABAARs and inhibitory syn...
