| gamma-hydroxybutyrate |
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (4-hydroxybutanoic acid, C4H8O3) is both a drug and a naturally occurring compound found in the mammalian brain, where it might function as a neurotransmitter. As a drug it is used most commonly in the form of a chemical salt (Na-GHB or K-GHB). The sodium salt is commercially known as sodium oxybate. ...

Radiosurgery is a medical procedure which allows non-invasive brain surgery, i.e., without actually opening the skull), by means of directed beams of ionizing radiation. It is a relatively recent technique (1951), which is used to destroy, by means of a precise dosage of radiation, intracranial tumors and other lesions that could be otherwise inaccessible or inadequate for open surgery. ...

| gamma-aminobutyric acid |
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter in widely divergent species. In humans, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain and spinal cord. As in the other contexts where GABA acts as a transmitter, the inhibition results from a hyperpolarization of the transmembrane potential of the inhibited neuron, which is elicited by the binding of GABA molecules to specific receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and post-synaptic cells. ...
