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 ...
Organophosphates (OPs) are powerful inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with a deleterious central nervous system (CNS) effect 1,2. As a consequence of this inhibition, a progression of toxic ...
Synthesis of the neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) normally occurs in neurons. A study now shows that ectopic expression of GAD leads to GABA accumulation, ...
Researchers have found that the neurotransmitter GABA is an essential regulator of metamorphosis in the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis. Larvae defective in GABA synthesis and transport failed to ...
