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 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 ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Depression is a complex condition correlated with multiple differences in brain function and mechanisms. A new paper spanning known data about the neurotransmitter GABA and its ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and collaborators used cryo-EM to decode the molecular architecture of a transporter protein controlling the movement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Astrocytes may express ionotropic glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, which allow them to sense and to respond to neuronal activity. However, so far the properties of astrocytes ...

Using a state-of-the-art method, researchers have succeeded for the first time at unraveling the effects of autoimmune antibodies, that are directed against the brain, in detail at the atomic level.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals your brain requires to operate. Along with dopamine and serotonin, GABA is a critical neurotransmitter that carries signals throughout the body. Known as ...

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 ...
