Development and regulation of chloride homeostasis in the central nervous system
GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mature central nervous system. The developmental switch of GABAergic transmission from excitation to inhibition is induced by changes in Cl- gradients, which are generated by cation-Cl- co-transporters. An accumulation of Cl-...
