γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors that contain the δ subunit promote memory and neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus

Whissell PD, Rosenzweig S, Lecker I, Wang DS, Wojtowicz JM, Orser BA. (2013) Ann Neurol. 74(4):611-21. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Extrasynaptic γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors that contain the δ subunit (δGABAA receptors) are highly expressed in the dentate gyrus (DG) subfield of the hippocampus, where they generate a tonic conductance that regulates neuronal activity. GABAA receptor-dependent […]
