The Dynamics of GABA Signaling: Revelations from the Circadian Pacemaker in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

Highlights • Synaptic and non-synaptic release of GABA occurs in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. • GABAA -PHASIC and GABAA -TONIC receptors are active in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. • GABA has inhibitory and excitatory actions on suprachiasmatic neurons. • GABAA and GABAB receptors modulate the phase...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Synaptic and non-synaptic release of GABA occurs in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. • GABAA -PHASIC and GABAA -TONIC receptors are active in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. • GABA has inhibitory and excitatory actions on suprachiasmatic neurons. • GABAA and GABAB receptors modulate the phase of the circadian pacemaker. • GABA can both inhibit and mediate the effects of light on the circadian pacemaker.
