Phil, Noa--

I just came across another summary of the same article in a Medscape newsletter.

http://psychiatry.medscape.com/reuters/prof/2000/10/10.09/20001006scie001.html

Registration shouldn't be required to access this one, but it may not be quite as readable as the Science mag one. I don't know why the URL wouldn't hyperlink, but it can be copy/pasted.

Info looks promising.--medlib


>Phil, I just found the article about this research. It is in the current (October 6, 2000, vol 290) issue of Science. On page 23 there is a news article about it (for us lay folks) and on page 131 is the research report. I don't know about others, but I think this is big news. Here is the summary from the online site for Science magazine:
>
> NEUROSCIENCE:
> A Possible Target for Better Benzodiazepines

> Laura Helmuth

> Pharmacologists have tried for years to distill the desirable effects of
> benzodiazepines from the undesirable ones; now a team of neuroscientists has
> shown that such a strategy could well succeed. Benzodiazepines work by
> amplifying the action of the neurotransmitter GABA, the brain's main "off" switch,
> and in work described on page 131, a group has pinpointed one particular
> subtype of the GABA receptor as the source of benzodiazepines'
> anxiety-reducing powers.
