Application
Neurotransmitter |
l In vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. l Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate. |
Brain development |
l The main observation was that in the hippocampus and neocortex of the mammalian brain, GABA has primarily excitatory effects. |
Other application |
l Depression l Premenstrual Syndrome l Male Contraceptive |
