Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Signaling in Brown Adipose Tissue Promotes Systemic Metabolic Derangement in Obesity

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a metabolically active organ that contributes to the maintenance of systemic metabolism. The sympathetic nervous system plays important roles in the homeostasis of BAT and promotes its browning and activation ...

Disrupted GABAergic facilitation of working memory performance in people with schizophrenia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
ObjectivesGamma-Amiobutyric acid (GABA) is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that facilitates neural oscillations that coordinate neural activity between brain networks to facilitate cognition.

Combined therapy with GABA and proinsulin/alum acts synergistically to restore long-term normoglycemia by modulating T-cell autoimmunity and promoting β-cell replication in newly diabetic NOD mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Antigen-based therapies (ABTs) fail to restore normoglycemia in newly diabetic NOD mice, perhaps because too few β-cells remain by the time that ABT-induced regulatory responses arise and spread.

Calcium Imaging Reveals Coordinated Simple Spike Pauses in Populations of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
The brain’s control of movement is thought to involve coordinated activity between cerebellar Purkinje cells. The results reported here demonstrate that somatic Ca2+ imaging is a faithful reporter of Na+-dependent “simple spike” pauses and enables us to ...

Dysregulation of visual motion inhibition in major depression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Individuals with depression show depleted concentrations of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in occipital (visual) cortex, predicting weakened inhibition within their visual systems.

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Recurrence of Autoimmune Encephalitis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a disease with a potential for recurrence, and patients receive immunotherapy to prevent it. However, there is no consensus on the duration of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the recurrence rate and identify the risk factors for AE to provide guidance on the duration of immunotherapy ...

The Role of GABA and Insulin Regulated Aminopeptidase on Insulin Resistance and GLUT4 in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

open access: yesمجله كليه طب الكندي
Background: Different proposed mechanisms for insulin resistance have been put forth to understand the relationship and changes in insulin resistance. Looking at the levels of insulin, the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, glucose transport type
