Facilitation of synaptic transmission by diazepam in a perfused frog cerebellum

Summary The action of diazepam on the parallel fibres-Purkinje cell synapse was studied in a perfused frog cerebellum. Diazepam facilitates the excitatory input to Purkinje cells and hence increases the inhibition produced by Purkinje cells activity.Supported by a grant from the Israel Center of Psychobiology.This work is part of M.
