title: Ligand-binding studies on GABA receptors--relation to physiology and behavior.
abstract: Some studies that have been conducted with ligand-binding methods support the contention that activation of cerebral GABA-receptors is involved in the control of certain behaviors. Further study of the changes in GABA-receptors that are associated with altered physiology and behavior in experimental animals and in man might lead to the development of new therapies for certain neuropsychiatric, cardiovascular, and endocrinological disorders.
