Scientists have shed new light on the role of GABA, a key signaling molecule in the brain. Researchers have delved into how GABA's levels in the brain are regulated and its broader impacts on ...

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).

Using a mouse model, researchers have discovered a new daily rhythm in a type of synapse that dampens brain activity. Known as inhibitory synapses, these neural connections are rebalanced so that we ...

The brain is an almost inconceivably complex system of billions of neurons interlinked via trillions of connections that work to coordinate everything you do, think, and feel (Zimmer, 2011). This ...

The complexity of the human brain is unparalleled. Fortunately, thanks to constant progress in neuroscience over the past decades, we have started to make some sense of the human brain. For instance, ...
