Colchicine is an alkaloid that is used clinically in the treatment of arthritic gout. This potent
microtubule disrupting agent has also been used extensively as an experimental tool in …

Publisher Summary The cytoskeleton is essential for the optimization of efficient synaptic
transmission. This chapter discusses the role of the cytoskeleton in the clustering and function …

Microtubules are present at postsynaptic densities in brain and are proposed to be involved
in anchoring neurotransmitter receptor clusters at postsynaptic membranes. However, the …

Background:C57BL/6 inbred mice prefer alcohol whereas DBA/2 mice avoid it. We describe
the construction of congenic strains of mice in which DBA/2 alleles for alcohol avoidance …

We studied whether microtubule organization is important for actions of ethanol on GABA A
ergic responses by testing the effects of microtubule depolymerization on ethanol …

An analogue of colchicine,β‐lumicolchicine, does not bind tubulin or disrupt microtubules.
However, this compound is not pharmacologically completely inactive. β‐Lumicolchicine was …

We report the development of two mouse fibroblast-like stably-transfected cell lines (α1-62-4
and α2-B36-1) that express human α 1 or α 2 glycine receptor subunits, respectively. …

Microtubules are present at postsynaptic densities in brain and interact with integral proteins
in postsynaptic membranes (Gordon-Weeks et al., 1976). This dissertation focused on the …
