GABA(A) receptor subtypes that incorporate a delta subunit protein and mediate tonic inhibition are preferentially modulated by neuroactive hormone metabolites and low to moderate doses of alcohol. During this seminar, I’ll share work supporting a role for this GABA(A) receptor subtype in sex-specific alcohol related behaviors and the consequences of binge drinking.
