Administration of the GABA<sub>A </sub>receptor antagonist picrotoxin into rat supramammillary nucleus induces c-Fos in reward-related brain structures. Supramammillary picrotoxin and c-Fos expression

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Picrotoxin blocks GABA<sub>A </sub>receptors, whose activation typically inhibits neuronal firing activity. We recently found that rats learn to selectively self-administer picrotoxin or bicuculline, another GABA<sub&g...
