Neurobiologists have made a breakthrough in understanding how environmental factors might contribute to autism spectrum ...

Alcohol enhances the inhibitory actions of the neurotransmitter GABA leading to impaired judgement. With frontal lobes ...

Glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is involved in cognitive functions such as learning and memory. Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) present on the ...

Examining the cerebral cortex of mice, the investigators found that meth and PCP each caused a switch from the excitatory ...

Acamprosate modulates glutamate neurotransmitter pathways through an unknown mechanism to reduce alcohol withdrawal hyperexcitability. Acamprosate has been shown to be beneficial in a subgroup of ...

Dopamine may also interact with the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays a role in habit learning, craving and relapse. In a BBC documentary, Dr Chris van Tulleken ate 80 percent ultra-processe ...

the presynaptic nerve ending contains several tens to a few hundreds of synaptic vesicles filled with the neurotransmitter glutamate. Each time a terminal receives an electrical impulse from the ...

Voltage clamp recording at an intermediate voltage shows that the two opposing neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA, are co-released by a fraction of synapses in many regions throughout the brain.
