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
