Figure 1 Activation of Kainate Receptors Indirectly Depresses GABA Release from Dorsal Horn Neurons Glutamate activates a presynaptic kainate receptor (KAR) causing enhanced action potential-independent GABA release by depolarization-induced opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC). The GABA binds to postsynaptic GABAA receptors as well as presynaptic GABAB receptors. The action on presynaptic GABAB receptors depresses action potential-dependent GABA release Neuron 2001 32, 376-378DOI: (10.1016/S0896-6273(01)00494-9)
