Several lines of evidence from post-mortem, brain imaging, and genetic studies in schizophrenia patients suggest that Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) deficits may contribute to the pathophysiology of ...

In a groundbreaking review paper published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, scientists have shed new light on the role of GABA, a key signaling molecule in the brain. Researchers from the Center for ...

New clues about the way brain chemical transmitter GABA functions suggest that a protein 'anchor' plays a key role in helping position its receptors in nervous cells. New research published in Nature ...

GABA receptors, long recognised principally for their role in modulating neuronal excitability within the central nervous system, are now emerging as pivotal regulators of immune function. These ...

A Georgetown University pharmacology and physiology professor gave an overview of “The World of GABA” in the annual Stephen and Mary Krop Lectureship in Pharmacology April 12. Tom Krop said the ...

A selective GABA inverse agonist has restored cognitive function in a mouse model of Down’s syndrome (DS) and has the potential to benefit humans, French researchers have revealed. A selective GABA ...

Scientists have revealed the molecular structure of a type of receptor that's crucial to brain development and function. 'This study shows the dominant assemblies and states of the GABA receptor. That ...

GABA is one of the supplements patients ask me about a lot, often with looks of confusion on their faces. I think the confusion comes from the fact that GABA is both a chemical produced within the ...

Although astrocytes are as prevalent in the brain as neurons, their role in neural processing remains less explored. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Picower Institute for Learning and ...
