FMRP regulates an ethanol-dependent shift in GABABR function and expression with rapid antidepressant properties

Alcohol is thought to lead to neuroadaptive changes, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors find ethanol treatment alters GABAB-receptor expression via fragile-X mental retardation protein in mice, leading to antidepressant-like behaviours.
