Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow of ions into and out of cells. As they play such a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, they have become the targets of ...

Research led by Jia Zhou in the Hibbs Lab at UC San Diego has mapped the structures of human brain receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA. The team obtained samples from epilepsy patients ...

Women who go on to develop postpartum depression (PPD) may have characteristic levels of neuroactive steroids, molecules derived from the hormone progesterone, in their blood during the third ...

Figure 4: Response of a model RE cell stimulated by a 5–Hz train of GABA A receptor IPSPs at different levels of membrane potential. Figure 5: Localized pattern of activity propagating through ...
