Insulin Reduces Neuronal Excitability by Turning on GABA(A) Channels that Generate Tonic Current
Insulin signaling to the brain is important not only for metabolic homeostasis but also for higher brain functions such as cognition. GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) decreases neuronal excitability by activating GABA(A) channels that generate phasic and tonic currents. The level of tonic inhibition in ne...
