Abstract: Fragile-X syndrome (FXS) is characterized by neurological and psychiatric problems symptomatic of cortical hyperexcitability. Recent animal studies identified deficient γ-aminobutyricacid (GABA) inhibition as a key mechanism for hyperexcitability in FXS, but the GABA system remains… read more here.

Abstract: Background: The cortical silent period (CSP) and long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) are putative markers of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type B (GABAB)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission. We aimed to assess the association between LICI and CSP in youths.… read more here.
