  • Title: Binding pattern of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate is not altered following electroconvulsive shock treatment in rats.
    Author: Kulkarni SK, Ticku MK.
    Journal: Brain Res Bull; 1989 Mar; 22(3):575-7. PubMed ID: 2540888.
    Abstract:
    Single or repeated electroconvulsive shock (ECS) treatment-induced changes in [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate [( 35S]TBPS) binding patterns in specific regions, i.e., cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, and striatum of rat brain were investigated. Specific [35S]TBPS binding in these brain regions was not altered following a single or repeated administration of ECS, nor was the inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding to GABA affected. These observations tend to suggest that the picrotoxin-site on the GABA receptor complex may not be directly involved in electroconvulsive shock.
