[GABAergic receptor system and its role in system activity of the brain].
In the review the analysis of structural and functional features of the main types of GABA-receptors and their distribution in various regions of a brain of vertebrata is carried out. Questions of an involvement of various types of GABA-receptors in various processes of brain activity are investigated. The data concerning tonic GABAergic inhibition in CNS, connected with extrasynaptic receptors, are shown. The physiological importance of mechanisms of tonic inhibition is discussed.
