The major types of glial cells—astrocytes, microglia, and cells of the oligodendroglial
lineage—are known to express functional metabotropic and ionotropic GABA receptors …

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is considered to be the major inhibitory neurotransmitter
that is synthesized in and released from GABA-ergic neurons in the brain. However, recent …

GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS acting at two distinct types of
receptor: ligand-gated ionotropic GABAA receptors and G protein-coupled metabotropic …

In the mature brain, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) functions primarily as an inhibitory
neurotransmitter. But it can also act as a trophic factor during nervous system development …

The amino acid γ-aminobutiric acid (GABA) is a major inhibitory transmitter in the vertebrate
central nervous system (CNS) where it can be released by neurons and by glial cells …

The proper development of highly organized structures in the central nervous system is a
complex process during which key events–neurogenesis, migration, growth, differentiation …

Our understanding of the role of GABA signaling in circuit development is rapidly expanding.
Here, we review three recent refinements in our understanding of the diverse roles that …

GABA receptors are distributed widely throughout the central nervous system on a variety of
cell types. It has become increasingly clear that astrocytes, both in cell culture and tissue …

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) mediating a
variety of homeostatic functions, such as spatial K+ buffering or neurotransmitter reuptake. In …

Myelin facilitates the fast transmission of nerve impulses and provides metabolic support to
axons. Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and Schwann cell (SC) …
