muscimol and Alcohol Abuse

muscimol has been researched along with Alcohol Abuse in 22 studies

Muscimol: A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies.
muscimol : A member of the class of isoxazoles that is 1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one substituted by an aminomethyl group at position 5. It has been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Amanita.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Long-term alcohol abuse is known to target specific areas of the brain such as the superior frontal cortex (SFC), resulting in neuronal cell loss."1.31Expression and distribution of GABAA receptor subtypes in human alcoholic cerebral cortex. ( Buckley, ST; Dodd, PR; Eckert, AL, 2000)
"Sleep-wake states were studied following withdrawal in 36 adult male wistar alcohol-dependent rats, after chronic administration of ethanol (10 g/kg/24 h) for 13 days."1.30Effects of muscimol or homotaurine on sleep-wake states in alcohol-dependent rats during withdrawal. ( Bajenaru, O; Dall'Ava-Santucci, J; Dinh-Xuan, AT; Emmanouilidis, E; Manicom, R; Poenaru, S; Rouhani, S; Tran, G, 1998)
"Whereas cases with concomitant Wernicke encephalopathy may also have had greater numbers of superior frontal [3H]muscimol binding sites than controls, alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver showed more muted differences."1.29GABAA receptors in damaged cerebral cortex areas in human chronic alcoholics. ( Dodd, PR, 1994)
"The effect of alcohol dependence induced by ethanol inhalation on GABA-dependent 36Cl- influx into membrane vesicles prepared from the mouse brain has been examined."1.28Functional alterations in cerebral GABAA receptor complex associated with formation of alcohol dependence: analysis using GABA-dependent 36Cl- influx into neuronal membrane vesicles. ( Kuriyama, K; Ueha, T, 1992)
