GABA Synthesis and Pyridoxine Seizures
A reduction in pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD),which synthesizes GABA, is reported in a 3 month-old infant with seizures responsive to pyridoxine treated at University of California, Davis.

Ontogeny of synaptophysin and synaptoporin in the central nervous system [PDF]
The expression of the synaptic vesicle antigens synaptophysin (SY) and synaptoporin (SO) was studied in the rat striatum, which contains a nearly homogeneous population of GABAergic neurons. In situ hybridization revealed high levels of SY transcripts in
