GABAergic Neurotransmission
- Molecular classification
- Neurotransmission pathway
01
Overview
GABAergic neurotransmission refers to the system of neural communication mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). This system involves GABA synthesis, release, receptor binding, and reuptake, playing a crucial role in regulating neuronal excitability and maintaining a balance between excitation and inhibition. Dysregulation of GABAergic neurotransmission is implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders, making it a significant target for therapeutic intervention.
