Abstract in brief

  • GABA initially acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter in immature neurons due to high intracellular chloride levels, which trigger sodium and calcium spikes crucial for early network activity.
  • This excitatory role of GABA occurs before the development of glutamatergic (glutamate-based) transmission and influences key processes like cell migration, cycle regulation, and the formation of neural circuits.
  • The primitive network patterns generated by GABA's excitatory actions, such as giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs), are essential for neurons to synchronize and form functional cortical networks, impacting synaptic plasticity and vulnerability to seizures in early brain development.]

@Khyraen @Treg_Buckner @ChildrensHD Ben-Ari offers a hopeful option, too. A diuretic. He knows about GABA more than most. https://t.co/uX1eieFdYN

@KBr_enthusiast @stopvaccinating https://t.co/3KClP9U3Sp Spot on with that. What is maybe more important about Ben-Ari is the machine learning they published in 2021 in Scientific Reports. https://t.co/jEzSGx831M
