Abstract
γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are key players in the mediation of synaptic inhibition in the mammalian brain. Several proteins have a significant role in the complex trafficking mechanisms of GABAARs to and from the neuronal surface. Proper trafficking maintain number and localization of GABAAR at the neuronal surface which is necessary for inhibitory neuronal transmission. Among many other proteins, recently identified molecular motor protein KIF5A is also involved in the GABAAR trafficking by interacting with GABARP protein. Deletion in the KIF5A can impair transportation mechanism of GABAAR, while an inappropriate inhibitory GABAAR mediated neuronal transmission leads to epilepsy. In this article, we discussed the dynamic regulation of GABAAR, role of different proteins in GABAAR trafficking, clustering and endocytosis by direct interaction with GABAAR or interaction through adaptor proteins linked with microtubules and also the dysregulation of GABAAR trafficking in epilepsy. It is concluded that various proteins are involved in the GABAAR trafficking; mutation or any other change in the interacting proteins can reduce the GABAAR trafficking and also reduces their cell surface expression which may lead to epilepsy.
Keywords: Epilepsy, temporal lobe epilepsy, γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor, γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor associated protein, molecular motor proteins, kinesin-1 family member protein.

Heart and Brain Axis Targets in CNS Neurological Disorders
Recently there has been a surge of interest in delving deeper into the complex interplay between the heart and brain. This fascination stems from a growing recognition of the profound influence each organ holds over the other, particularly in the realm of central nervous system (CNS) neurological disorders. The purpose ...read more
Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent and Treat Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
More than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide. By 2050, the population affected by dementia will exceed 139 million individuals. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a pre-dementia stage, also known as prodromal dementia, affecting older adults. MCI emerges years before the manifestation of dementia but can be avoidable and ...read more

Role of glial cells in autism spectrum disorder: Molecular mechanism and therapeutic approaches
Emerging evidence suggests that glial cells may play a pivotal role in neuroanatomical and behavioral changes found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many individuals with ASD experience a neuro-immune system abnormalities throughout life, which implicates a potential role of microglia in the pathogenesis of ASD. Dysfunctional astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were ...read more
