Hippocampal Neurons Express GABAA Receptor Insensitive to Diazepam in Hyperexcitable Conditions

Summary: Purpose: To define the properties of γ‐aminobutyric acid‐type A (GABAA) receptors expressed on dentate granule cells in neonatal rats and to define the impact of prolonged seizures on GABAA receptors in 28‐ to 35‐day‐old rats.
