What is the role of GABA in huntington's disease?
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a role in the basal ganglia of the brain. The basal ganglia is related with movement and coordinates with the cerebellum in order to control our movements. GABA neurotransmitters are destroyed in Huntington's disease, which causes an imbalance in motions because of the decreased inhibitory neurotransmitters. This causes the involuntary movements that are characteristic of Huntington's.
