EtOH regulates GABA

The neuroadaptations induced by chronic EtOH on GABAergic ... systems may represent homeostatic or compensatory mechanisms.

local administration of EtOH by dialysis increased the dialysate GABA levels in CET rats.

EtOH probably enhances the release of GABA by activating CRF1R on GABAergic terminals

increased probability of presynaptic GABA release independent of neuronal discharge in VTA neurons treated with EtOH

more results generated using in vitro brain slices show a stronger effect of EtOH on GABA release

effects of chronic EtOH exposure on LTP induction are mediated by a reduction in GABAergic inhibition

EtOH also enhances GABAergic transmission in the rat CeA.
