90 Day Deep Dive Podcast Series into the World of Human Receptor Pharmacology - Day 13 GPCR Class C Metabotropic Glutamate & GABA_B Receptors
Dive deep into the fascinating world of Class C GPCRs in this comprehensive exploration of the brain's complex communication system. Learn how these crucial receptors act as molecular switches, with glutamate serving as the "gas pedal" and GABA as the "brakes" in neural signaling. From the unique Venus flytrap structure of these receptors to their role in treating neurological disorders, this episode unravels the intricate cellular mechanisms that govern brain function. Discover how scientists are using cutting-edge imaging techniques to study these microscopic cellular compartments, and explore the therapeutic potential of targeting specific GPCRs for conditions ranging from anxiety and depression to epilepsy and chronic pain. Whether you're a neuroscience enthusiast or simply curious about how your brain works, this deep dive offers fascinating insights into the molecular maestros orchestrating the symphony of our minds.
