Two main functions of taurine in the brain are here discussed: the role of taurine in cell volume regulation and the neuromodulatory actions of taurine liberated by depolarization. Taurine takes part in cell volume regulation with other small-molecular compounds. Extracellular taurine inhibits neuronal firing through GABA and glycine receptors. However, the existence of specific taurine receptors is still not excluded.
