Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons

Abstract Objective Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ‐aminobutyric acid type‐A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is altered. We tested whether similar changes...
