For decades, its phar- macological action was believed to act on inhibition of gam- ma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase, in turn, increas- ing GABA in inhibitory synapses. However, in recent years, VPA has been investigated on other therapeutic actions. Those investigations demonstrate that VPA shows neuroprotective ef- fects by promoting neurogenesis, neuronal differentiation, and neuroregeneration (Foti et al., 2013).展开更多
