Abstract
⺠Zolpidem is a short-acting non-benzodiazepine hypnotic acting via GABAA receptors. ⺠The neuronal substrates of zolpidem within the brain are unknown. ⺠We examined how zolpidem modulates visual system activation during BOLD fMRI. ⺠Zolpidem reduced robust activation produced by a flashing checkerboard. ⺠Effects were consistent with GABA-related reductions in the BOLD signal.
