Expansion of receptive fields in raccoon somatosensory cortex in vivo by GABAA receptor antagonism : implications for cortical reorganization

The effect of antagonism of GABAA receptors on the receptive fields of raccoon primary somatosensory cortical neurons was tested using microiontophoretic administration of bicuculline methiodide (BMI). The size of cutaneous receptive fields was examined using minimal suprathreshold mechanical stimul...
