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).

Scientists have, for the first time, determined the structure of a key protein that transports a neurotransmitter responsible for reducing the activity of neurons in the brain, providing details at ...

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 ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, in the brain. It has a calming effect by blocking certain signals in the nervous system. The brain produces and responds to ...

Though Aβ tends to hog the research spotlight, scientists have steadily built a case for the importance of another APP fragment—secreted APP. Now, a paper in the January 11 Science explains how it ...

A new way to study the role of a critical neurotransmitter in disorders such as epilepsy, anxiety, insomnia, depression, schizophrenia, and alcohol addiction has been developed by a group of ...

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 ...

GABA may help to relieve anxiety and feelings of panic by creating a healthy stress response in the body. When someone is ...

A novel structure of a so-called 'neurotransmitter: sodium symporter’ has been mapped at the University of Copenhagen. The discovery adds to the researchers’ knowledge of neurotransmitters in the ...

GABA, also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a natural chemical produced by the brain. It is a valuable anti-anxiety neurotransmitter. When we experience stress, the adrenal glands are triggered to ...
