## Abstract Interpretation of biochemical measurements in the human brain after death is complicated by a variety of premortem, perimortem, and postmortem factors. The activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in particular has been found to vary considerably among human brains. In contrast to

Recent studies have reported an increase in GABA A receptor binding activity in several key corticolimbic regions, including the hippocampal formation, of postmortem schizophrenic brain. Because this change has been postulated to represent a compensatory upregulation of this receptor, the current re
## Abstract The neonatal brain possesses higher water content, lower macromolecular concentration, and reduced synaptic density than is found in the brain of a 1‐year‐old child. Changes in MRI characteristics of brain such as relaxation times accompany rapid changes in brain during early postnatal
In a previous work we found that the activity of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is decreased in comatose cirrhotic rats after chronic treatment with CCl4. In the present report we studied the
Changes in y-aminobutyric acid and glutamic acid decarboxylase in discrete regions of rat brain following lithium administration and withdrawal. Drug Dev. Res. 3:153-161, 1983. The influence of low dose (1 mmolikgiday) chronic lithium (Li) treatment was studied on 7aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels a
