The spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a synaptic learning rule for encoding learning and memory, relies on relative timing of neuronal activity on either side of the synapse. GABAergic signaling has been shown to control neuronal excitability and consequently the spike timing

Development (Cambridge, England), 141(1), 83-90 (2013-11-29)
Adult neurogenesis is tightly regulated through the interaction of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) with their niche. Neurotransmitters, including GABA activation of GABAA receptor ion channels, are important niche signals. We show that adult mouse hippocampal NSCs and their progeny express

An optimized single-shot proton double-quantum (DQ) filter for the quantification of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in human brain is reported. It is demonstrated that creation of DQ coherences following dual-resonance-selective refocusing gives a theoretical editing efficiency of 50% for the
