Increased GABA(A) receptor ε-subunit expression on ventral respiratory column neurons protects breathing during pregnancy.

GABAergic signaling is essential for proper respiratory function. Potentiation of this signaling with allosteric modulators such as anesthetics, barbiturates, and neurosteroids can lead to respiratory arrest.
