[edit] User friendly?

This article reads like something that was pulled from the middle of a textbook or a review article on GABA receptors. When I began reading this, it felt as if I had walked into the middle of a upper-level university lecture on GABA receptors. There should at least be an introductory paragraph that introduces some basic concepts, or at least links to them.

Agreed, wayyy too technical for the general public to be reading from an online generalized encyclopedia

[edit] Proposed Merge

Does anyone else think we should merge the GABA A B and C receptor pages? The other articles are very short so I think there is a strong argument for doing this. Fibrosis 14:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User friendly... definitely needs improvement

I completely agree with the other commant about it feeling like walking into a university level lecture. (Incidentally I'm a university level med student 3 days from a pharmacology final at 4:30am). Please, this page needs to be made into simpler english, and I'd do it but I'm afraid it'd be all wrong. I also have no idea how to tag it as needing improvement. Squiggle 20:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I hate to do this, but the article is in dire need of cleanup. I'll tag it accordingly (you can find such tags here) and raise attention to it on relevant WikiProjects. Good luck! Fvasconcellos 21:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I've outlined it - it should be clearer now. --Arcadian 21:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I've done a little editing myself, too. This article could use a diagram of the receptor subtypes. (kinda like this) Most importantly, this article is lacking any info on GABA_D.[1] -- Scientizzle 00:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
