    • The effect of lindane (γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane) on [35S]t‐butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS) binding and GABA‐stimulated 36Cl− influx was investigated in cultured cerebral cortical neurons. In addition, the cytotoxic action of lindane as well as a protection by GABA and flunitrazepam were studied together with the ability of lindane to increase the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+. Lindane was found to be toxic to the neurons, an effect that could be completely prevented by the… CONTINUE READING
