Abstract: That 3alpha‐hydroxy‐5alpha/beta‐pregnane steroids (GABA steroids) have modulatory effects on the GABA‐A receptor is well known. In behavioral studies in animals high exogenous dosages give concentrations not usually reached in the brain under physiological conditions. Animal and human studies show that GABA‐A receptor‐positive modulators like barbiturates, benzodiazepines, alcohol, and allopregnanolone have a bimodal effect. In pharmacological concentrations they are CNS depressants… CONTINUE READING
