Benzodiazepines and behavior. 1985

S E File, and S J Cooper

This article sets the background for the following series of articles on the behavioral actions of drugs acting at the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex. The articles provide detailed analyses of particular behaviors and emphasise the danger of interpreting all behavioral effects in terms of anxiety. What also emerges clearly from several of the articles is that any agonist/inverse agonist classification is test-dependent and that global categorisation is not possible for many of the novel compounds.
