| Wikipedic | Bicuculline (BIC) is an antagonist of GABA receptors. Since it blocks the inhibitory action of GABA receptors, the action of bicuculline mimics epilepsy. This property is utilised in laboratories across the world in the in vitro study of epilepsy, generally in cortical neurons in prepared brain slices from rodents. (references) | ||
