New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Ioana-Florentina Grigoras, Charlotte J. Stagg, et al: Baclofen, a GABAb receptor agonist, impairs motor learning in healthy people and changes inhibitory dynamics in motor areas doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

New paper out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social! 🎉 We found that baclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist, leads to impairments in motor learning in healthy people and blunting of the expected GABA decrease during learning @oxcin.bsky.social @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk @ndcnoxford.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Baclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist, impairs motor learning in healthy people and changes inhibitory dynamics in motor areas

Abstract. Inhibition mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is implicated in motor plasticity and learning, with [GABA] in the motor cortex decreasing during motor learning. However, the causal relati...
