摘要
Gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABAergic)neuron,as one of important cell types in synaptic transmission,has been widely involved in central nervous system(CNS)regulation of organismal physiologies including cognition,emotion,arousal and reward.However,upon their distribution in various brain regions,effects of GABAergic neurons in the brain are very diverse.In current report,we will present an overview of the role of GABAergic mediated inhibitory neurocircuitry in the hypothalamus,underlying mechanism of feeding and sleep homeostasis as well as the characteristics of latest transcriptome profile in order to call attention to the GABAergic system as potentially a promising pharmaceutical intervention or a deep brain stimulation target in eating and sleep disorders.
