"Our study shows that even if a pre-synaptic neuron is not releasing GABA, the post-synaptic neuron can still put together the necessary molecular machineries prepared to sense GABA," Chanda said.

About one third of the neurons derived from MGE grafts were stained with an antibody to GABA, suggesting that many of the graft-derived cells differentiated into inhibitory neurons. This work ...

When GABA receptors are stimulated, they reduce neuron firing, leading to sluggish movement. 3 This wobbly effect isn’t limited to humans; Rossi found that rodents exhibit similar behavior. He tested ...

In normal mice (left), magenta neurons express the excitatory transmitter glutamate and green neurons express the inhibitory transmitter GABA. Methamphetamine (right) causes glutamate-expressing ...

Extracellular neuron and field–potential recordings from ... Figure 4: Response of a model RE cell stimulated by a 5–Hz train of GABA A receptor IPSPs at different levels of membrane potential.
