This model synapse can precisely control a variety of receptors for the neurotransmitter called GABA, which is important in brain chemistry. The research, which will be published in the <i>Journal ...

Subscribe for FREE To answer that fundamental question, Chanda and his team in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology focused on a specific and important type of synapse called GABAergic ...

He said neuroscience researchers have long hypothesized that these synapses might form because of a release of GABA and the corresponding ... stem cells to develop a model of the brain that ...

While the understanding of GABA's action at the synapse between pre- and post-synaptic neurons has been established, its effects outside the synapse have remained a mystery. Since 2010 ...

Yale researchers used light to probe the actions of the neurotransmitter GABA on single synapses along the branches of a neuron. The work, appearing in the May 10 issue of the journal Science, ...
