  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The amino acids, L-glutamate and GABA serve as major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, respectively, in the mammalian brain. High-affinity transporters for these amino acids in neurons and glial cells are essential for the removal of these transmitters from the synaptic cleft and for regulating their extracellular concentration. There is compelling evidence that epilepsy is associated with changes in the balance of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. More recently, it has been suggested that changes in GABA and glutamate transporters may be important in epileptogenesis and seizure propagation.
