Application

Neurotransmitter

l In vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes.

l Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate.

Brain development

l The main observation was that in the hippocampus and neocortex of the mammalian brain, GABA has primarily excitatory effects.

Other application

l Depression

l Premenstrual Syndrome

l Male Contraceptive
