Used primarily in neuroscience research to study the function of GABA receptors. It acts as a competitive antagonist, blocking GABAergic neurotransmission, which helps in understanding inhibitory signaling in the brain. Commonly employed in electrophysiological experiments to investigate synaptic transmission and neural excitability. Also utilized in studies related to epilepsy, as it can induce seizures by disrupting GABA-mediated inhibition, providing insights into seizure mechanisms and potential treatments. Additionally, it aids in exploring the role of GABA receptors in various neurological disorders and behavioral studies.
