abstract：:Neurons of the vertebrate retina possess receptors for many neurotransmitters. Particularly interesting is a new type of GABA receptor (GABA rho) that, in contrast to GABAA and GABAB receptors, shows very little desensitization, is not blocked by bicuculline, and is not activated by baclofen. Homomeric human GABA rho ...
