Highlighting the current developments and future directions in GABA
research, the ambitious aim of this topical volume is to cover GABA from
the molecular mechanisms of its transmission to new targets for
pharmaceutical research. Distinguished scientists at the forefront of
GABA research were invited to contribute reviews on glutamate
decarboxylase and autoimmunity, molecular structure and functional
regulation of GABA transporters, transmitter release and GABA receptor
regulation, GABA receptor subtypes and functional regulation, and GABA
receptor ligands and their therapeutic application. Describing the
latest advances in what has become a rapidly-evolving field, this volume
will prove immensely valuable to neuroscientists, pharmacologists,
biochemists, and physiologists working in the field of GABA research.
