Univ. Prof. Dr. Werner Sieghart

Prof. Sieghart is an internationally acknowledged Austrian neuroscientist. He significantly contributed to our current knowledge on the structure, pharmacology, distribution, and function, of GABAA receptors . Prof. Sieghart belongs to the most highly cited scientists in his field of research as well as in Austrian neuroscience.

GABAA receptors are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. They are the site of action of the clinically important benzodiazepines, barbiturates, neuroactive steroids, and anesthetics.  GABAA receptors regulate anxiety, sleep, cognition, muscle activity, and memory. In addition, they modulate depression, neuropathic pain, schizophrenia, and recovery from stroke.

GABAA receptors are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, that are involved in regulating most brain functions. They are the site of action of the clinically important benzodiazepines, barbiturates, neuroactive steroids, anesthetics, and convulsants. GABAA receptors regulate anxiety, sleep, cognition, muscle activity, and memory. In addition, they modulate depression, neuropathic pain, schizophrenia, and recovery from stroke.
