    • Membrane vesicles from rat cerebral cortex were prepared and the functional response of the GABAA receptor was followed by monitoring GABA-activated influx of the radiotracer 36Cl- ion. CuCl2 decreased GABA-activated 36Cl- influx into synaptosomal membrane vesicles. The effect of Cu2+ was concentration dependent (5-500 microM CuCl2) and occurred with saturating (1 mM) as well as low (30 microM) GABA concentrations. A similar inhibition of the responses to muscimol (30 microM) was also observed… CONTINUE READING
