Scientists have revealed the molecular structure of a type of receptor that's crucial to brain development and function. "It is the main player that balances excitation and inhibition in the brain," ...

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 ...

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 principal receptors ...

A Georgetown University pharmacology and physiology professor gave an overview of “The World of GABA” in the annual Stephen and Mary Krop Lectureship in Pharmacology April 12. Tom Krop said the ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and collaborators used cryo-EM to decode the molecular architecture of a transporter protein controlling the movement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid⁠–⁠a molecule that builds proteins⁠–⁠that can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Side effects, especially at higher doses, may include drowsiness ...

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 ...
