Transcription of GABAA receptor subunits in circulating monocytes and association to emotional brain function in premenstrual dysphoric disorder [PDF]
Translational PsychiatryPremenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) has been hypothesized to be related to an altered sensitivity of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor to progesterone-derived neurosteroids.

Phosphorylation of GABAA receptor β3 subunit at Ser408–409 is essential for contextual learning at hippocampal CA1 synapses [PDF]
Scientific ReportsContextual learning requires strengthening at both AMPA receptor-mediated excitatory synapses and GABAA receptor-mediated inhibitory synapses in CA1 neurons. However, the precise mechanisms underlying learning-induced strengthening at inhibitory synapses

GABA increases electrical excitability in a subset of human unmyelinated peripheral axons [PDF]
, 2010 A proportion of small diameter primary sensory neurones innervating human skin are chemosensitive. They respond in a receptor dependent manner to chemical mediators of inflammation as well as naturally occurring algogens, thermogens and pruritogens.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Quantification of GABAA Receptors in the Brain of Fragile X Patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Over the last several years, evidence has accumulated that the GABAA receptor is compromised in animal models for fragile X syndrome (FXS), a common hereditary form of intellectual disability.

Altered GABAA receptor function in women with endometriosis: a possible pain‐related mechanism
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2023 Introduction The mechanism underlying endometriosis‐related pain remains poorly understood. Previous studies have indicated that γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABAA) receptors and GABAergic substances (eg endogenous neurosteroids) play important ...

Characterization of zebrafish GABAA receptor subunits
Scientific Reports, 2021 γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, exerts its effect through the activation of GABA receptors. GABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels composed of five subunit proteins.
