title: GABA(B) receptors: new tricks by an old dog.
abstract: Our understanding of the molecular, structural and pharmacological properties of the GABA(B) receptor has lagged behind that of the GABA(A) receptor for several decades. This situation has changed with the recent cloning of this receptor, revealing an unexpected and highly intriguing complexity of both structure and function.
