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 ...

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 ...

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it inhibits certain brain ...

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 ...

People with the inherited disorder myotonic dystrophy (DM) often experience excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue, as well as altered responses to anesthetics that can put them at risk for ...

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.

In nociception, a range of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) plays extremely important roles. By modulating the function of a wide variety of ion channels, GPCRs also signal molecules in the case of ...
