Yet another theory focuses on the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, suggesting that reduced …

… resilient people had larger populations of two subsets of inhibitory neurons in the prefrontal cortex. In people with … and cell death. “This revelation suggests that specific inhibitory neuron populations might hold the key to … is. They could also start to group genes into regulatory circuits that control specific cell functions such as …

… occurs because of disinhibition. When propofol boosts the inhibitory drive, this drive inhibits other inhibitory neurons, and the result is an overall increase in …
