Abstract:

The abnormalities of functions of γ-aminobutyric acid neurons in the brain are found in a variety of mental disorders, such as anxiety disorder, mood disorder, sleep disorder, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. This paper reviews advances in studies on the effects of γ-aminobutyric acid on mental disorders by the magnetic resonance spectroscopy technology.

Key words: γ-aminobutyric acid, magnetic resonance spectroscopy technology, mental disorders
