We examined the effects of GABAB receptor activation in the dentate gyrus of hippocampal slices prepared from 6-8-day-old rat pup. Baclofen (0.25-1.0 microM), a GABAB agonist, rapidly and potently disinhibited the developing dentate, similar to its…
The mechanism of disinhibition produced by opioid peptides was studied using intracellular recording in area CA1 of rat hippocampal slices. The mu-selective opioid peptide [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol5]-enkephalin (DAGO) reversibly depressed…
