Notes: Picrotoxin is a natural plant-derived poison that acts as a selective GABAA receptor antagonist.{32532,32535} It is functional in vivo and is used to study the role of GABAA receptors in the central nervous system as well in the periphery.{32533,32534} Picrotoxin induces seizures in adult and immature animals and is used to study GABAA-dependent seizures and drugs that block this pathway.{32536}
