...GABA is produced in the nerve terminals of GABAergic neurones from glutamate and glutamic acid byknowledge that other forms of motor cortex plasticity require defined sensory input for their occurrence (Hamdy et al., glutamic acid decarboxylase and is catabolized by GABA transaminase (GABA-T) (Tillakaratne et al., 1995)....
