However‚ tissues that did not contract or contraction was less than 500mg were deemed unviable and discarded. Receptor‐selective agonists and antagonists were used in conjunction with isometric tension recording techniques to characterize the muscarinic cholinoceptor subtype that mediate contraction in the preparation. The functional studies provided information regarding the presence of muscarinic

Research has also indicated‚ through drug infusions to the amygdala‚ that benzodiazepines cause anxiolysis (by increasing GABA transmission)‚ and that benzodiazepine antagonists increase anxiety (by decreasing GABA transmission). Also discussed are some limitations and problems found with benzodiazepine use. On the Role of the Amygdala in Anxiety and How Treatment is Effective The functional anatomy of anxiety involves
