Research Article: Bibliometric Analysis on GABA-A Receptors Research Based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer
Abstract:
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a key mediator of brain activity in mammals, acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter.– There is a critical role for GABAergic neurotransmission in neurodevelopmental disorders. Two types of receptors mediate GABA’s inhibitory effects, GABA-A receptors and GABA-B receptors., As ligand-gated ion channels, GABA-A receptors are heteropentamers formed from a selection of subunits and one of the most significant drug targets in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression, aggression, anxiety, and insomnia. Genetic studies have documented the relationship between GABA-A receptor subunit genes and epilepsy, eating disorder, autism, and bipolar disorders. Besides, there is also interest in GABA-A receptors as potential targets for Parkinson disease and other neurological dysfunctions, essential tremor, ischemic stroke, pain management. Even some of the World’s major insecticides.–
