Sex differences in the posteromedial cortical nucleus of the amygdala in the rat.

abstract：:Results from a computer model of a thalamic network predict that agents augmenting GABA(A)-mediated inhibition in the reticular thalamic (RE) nucleus will be antiepileptic or desynchronizing. This provides support for the hypothesis that antiepileptics like benzodiazepines may exert their effects through an isolated i...
