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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

Researchers identify prochlorperazine as a potential new treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy by restoring the KCC2 chloride ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid⁠–⁠a molecule that builds proteins⁠–⁠that can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Side effects, especially at higher doses, may include drowsiness ...
