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 ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited form of intellectual disability. The cause, which has been well-studied, is the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP)—a genetic ...

Astrocytic GABA transporter 3 is essential for preserving the integrity of neuronal population dynamics in accurately encoding and representing sensory information.

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.
