Age-Dependent Effects Of Chronic GABAA Receptor Blockade In Barrel Cortex
… protect neurons from excessive excitatory input, polymer implants containing the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline were placed over barrel cortex for a 4-day period in young (postnatal days 8 - 12) and adult rats. In the cortex of young, but not adult rats, the chronic blockade of GABAA …

Modification of polymer surfaces to aid the attachment of cells derived from bone.
Polymeric materials such as polystyrene (PS) and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) have bulk properties which are attractive for biomaterials applications such as orthopaedic implants. However, both PS and PE have low surface energy, and it is well established that high-energy surfaces …
