BRIEF COMMUNICATION
Low Ethanol Concentrations Selectively Augment the Tonic Inhibition Mediated bySubunit-Containing GABAA Receptors in Hippocampal Neurons

In central neurons, a tonic conductance is activated by ambient levels of the inhibitory transmitter GABA. Here, we show that in dentate gyrus granule cells, where tonic inhibition is mediated by
subunit-containing GABAA receptors, this conductance is augmented by low concentrations (30 mM) of ethanol. In contrast, the tonic inhibition mediated by
5 subunit-containing receptors of CA1 pyramidal cells is not affected. The effect of ethanol on tonic inhibition specifically reduces the excitability of the dentate gyrus and identifies the
