Darlison's excellent work reviews aspects of GABA-A receptor function,
as well as the properties of a variety of other important inhibitory
proteins, such as GABA-C receptors and G-protein coupled receptors
including neuropeptides. Glycine receptors and potassium channels are
covered too. The consequences of mutations that disrupt the regulation
of excitatory neurotransmission, and efforts to target the GABAergic
system for therapeutic benefit, are also discussed.
