Adaptive time-frequency approximations offer description of the local structures of a signal in terms of their time and frequency coordinates, widths and amplitudes. These parameters can then be used to select and study electroencephalogram (EEG) structures like sleep spindles or slow wave activity (SWA) with high resolution. Such a detailed description of relevant structures improves on the sensitivity of the traditionally used spectral power estimates and opens new possibilities of investigation. These advantages are illustrated using a double-blind test of the influence of zolpidem and midazolam on sleep EEG, and the results are compared with the traditional approach. The observed decrease of frequency of the SWA under the influence of sleep-inducing drugs gives an example of an effect elusive to classical methodology.

Acute GABA transporter inhibition can induce anxiolytic-like behaviors. The present analysis addressed whether chronic treatment (23 days via drinking water) with a GABA transporter inhibitor affects rat behavior similar to acute treatment and interferes with additional benzodiazepine-receptor agonistic treatment. Seventy-one rats divided into seven groups were acutely treated with either vehicle, diazepam (2 mg/kg), zolpidem (0.05 mg/kg), tiagabine (19 mg/kg) or chronically with tiagabine with or without acute diazepam or zolpidem. Animals were behaviorally characterized in an elevated plus-maze. None of the treatments induced changes in the activity of the animals. Acute and chronic treatment with tiagabine induced anxiolytic-like effects, similar to acute doses of diazepam. Acute diazepam did not enhance chronic tiagabine effects, whereas acute zolpidem attenuated the anxiolytic-like effects of chronic tiagabine. It is concluded that anxiolytic effects of acute GABA-uptake inhibition by tiagabine persist under chronic treatment and are sensitive to concomitant use of benzodiazepine receptor ligands.

Developmental changes in 5alpha-pregnan-3alpha-ol-20-one (allopregnanolone; 5alpha-3alpha-P) potentiation of muscimol and benzodiazepine binding to the GABAA receptor were studied in the guinea pig cerebral cortex at three prenatal ages (gestational day (GD) 40, GD 50, GD 62), and three postnatal ages (postnatal day (PD) 11, PD 21, PD 61) (term, about GD 68). The number and affinity of [3H]flunitrazepam binding sites, and 5alpha-3alpha-P potentiation of [3H]muscimol and [3H]flunitrazepam binding to the GABAA receptor were determined at each age. There was no age effect on the affinity (Kd) for [3H]flunitrazepam. However, the number (Bmax) of [3H]flunitrazepam binding sites doubled between GD 40 and GD 62, and then declined slightly to reach adult levels by PD 11. 5alpha-3alpha-P produced a concentration-dependent potentiation of [3H]muscimol and [3H]flunitrazepam binding at each developmental age examined. The potency (high-affinity) for 5alpha-3alpha-P potentiation of both [3H]muscimol and [3H]flunitrazepam binding was lowest at GD 40, and increased to adult levels by GD 62. In contrast, the efficacy for 5alpha-3alpha-P potentiation of both [3H]muscimol and [3H]flunitrazepam binding was greatest at GD 40, and decreased to adult levels between GD 50 and GD 62. The percentage of high-affinity zolpidem binding sites increased in an age-dependent manner from 34.2+/-2.2% at GD 40, to reach adult levels by GD 62 (59. 4+/-2.5%). These data suggest that 5alpha-3alpha-P can modulate GABAA receptors in the immature cerebral cortex, and that changes in 5alpha-3alpha-P action are temporally related to changes in GABAA receptor benzodiazepine pharmacology late in gestation in the guinea pig.

The ability of clonazepam and zolpidem to displace [3H]flumazenil binding was measured in the human hippocampal formation, frontal cortex (BA9) and the cerebellum using in situ radioligand binding and autoradiography. The use of high resolution phosphorimaging in all regions indicated the displacement of [3H]flumazenil by clonazepam was monophasic with K(i) values ranging from 2.73+/-0.17 to 6.49+/-0.21 nM. [3H]flumazenil binding that was not displaced by clonazepam ranged from 3.39+/-0.86 to 7.15+/-1.11%. The ability of zolpidem to displace [3H]flumazenil was also monophasic in the frontal cortex and cerebellum with K(i) values of 37.53+/-1.79 and 31.80+/-1.68 nM, respectively. In contrast, within all hippocampal regions, zolpidem displacement of [3H]flumazenil was biphasic, with K(i) values for the high affinity site ranging from 0.13+/-0.04 to 0.54+/-0.03 nM, whereas the low affinity site was between 84.98+/-1.58 and 98.84+/-1.89 nM. In addition, zolpidem insensitive [3H]flumazenil binding was observed to vary markedly between brain regions, ranging between 37.85+/-1.60 and 6.13+/-0.83%. In conclusion, the present results indicate that in situ radioligand binding and high-resolution phosphorimaging techniques can be utilized to measure the differential displacement of [3H]flumazenil by zolpidem and clonazepam. Moreover, our data suggests that the differential distribution of the zolpidem insensitive component of [3H]flumazenil binding is an indicator of GABA/BZ receptors assembled by different subunits within the human brain.
