Functional expression of ρ subunit containing GABAA receptors in the intermediate zone. Microfluorimetric registration of Ca2+ transients induced by application of 100 μM GABA and 100 μM of the ρ subunit specific agonist cis-4-aminocrotonic acid (CACA) in neurons from the intermediate zone (A) and cortical plate (B). Note that CACA induced Ca2+ transients occurred only in the intermediate zone (A1,B1) that the ρ subunit containing GABAA receptor antagonist (1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)met-hylphosphinic acid (TPMPA) was inefficient in the cortical plate (A2,B2) and that the GABAA antagonist bicuculline (BMI) completely abolished GABAergic Ca2+ transients in the CP (A3,B3).
