GABAergic interneurons

GABAergic interneurons are specialized nerve cells in the brain that release GABA, a chemical messenger that inhibits or reduces the activity of other neurons. They play a crucial role in balancing brain activity, preventing excessive excitation, and helping regulate processes like mood, attention, and cognition. By controlling how neurons communicate, GABAergic interneurons contribute to the brain’s ability to function smoothly and stay stable, supporting overall mental health and proper neural network operation.
