Allopregnanolone Enhances GABAergic Inhibition in Spinal Motor Networks

The neurosteroid allopregnanolone (ALLO) causes unconsciousness by allosteric modulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA<sub>A</sub>) receptors, but its actions on the spinal motor networks are unknown. We are therefore testing the hypothesis that ALLO attenuates the action potential...
