Abstract

In guinea pig hippocampal slices, the GABA B receptor antagonist CGP 35348 increased the length of picrotoxin-induced interictal bursts by only 22%, yet it increased the length of group I mGluR-induced ictaform bursts by 85%. These data suggest that (1) suppression of GABAergic inhibition is insufficient to account for group I mGluR agonist-induced ictaform bursts, and (2) although GABA B plays a minor role in terminating interictal bursts, it is a major contributor to the termination of mGluR-induced ictaform bursts.
