 iversity College London

DESCRIPTION:Brain inhibition relies largely on inhibitory neurotransmitter
  receptors activated by GABA. Following an introduction on GABA receptors 
 and inhibitory synapses\, the presentation will focus on allosteric regula
 tion of GABA receptors by naturally occurring molecules released in the br
 ain - the neurosteroids. The second part will concentrate on genetic issue
 s and how altered brain inhibition might contribute to alcoholism.
