Abstract excerpt
The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in brain development and behavior. GABA(A) receptor subunits knock-out and knock-in mice have proven that GABA(A) receptors are involved in control of motor coordination, learning, and memory and play a role in anxiety, panic, and epileptogenesis. In addition, these receptors are involved in the molecular mechanisms of action...
