Effects of lorazepam and baclofen on short‐ and long‐latency afferent inhibition

KEY POINTS: Short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI) is modulated by GABA_A receptor activity, whereas the pharmacological origin of long-latency afferent inhibition remains unknown. This is the first study to report that long-latency afferent inhibition (LAI) is reduced by the GABA_A positive allosteric modulator lorazepam, and that both SAI and LAI are not modulated by the GABA_B agonist baclofen. These findings advance our understanding of the …
