Abstract
Administration of the GABAB receptor agonist, (-)-baclofen 10 mg kg-1, i.p. daily for 21 days to rats prevented (-)-baclofen-induced hyperpolarizing responses and synaptically-evoked late inhibitory potentials (IPSPs) in olfactory cortical neurones recorded intracellularly from 450 microns brain slices. In contrast, pre-treatment with CGP 36742 induced a significant increase in (-)-baclofen-mediated post-synaptic responses and late IPSP amplitude. In the spinal cord, the potency of (-)-baclofen in inhibiting electrically-evoked substance P-like immunoreactivity or amino acid release was significantly reduced or increased in slices from rats pre-treated with the GABAB agonist or antagonist, respectively. These data suggest that functional responses to GABAB receptor activation in the mammalian central nervous system can be up- or down-regulated.
