Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex GABA Concentration in Humans
... Here, we used a novel behavioral approach to test the hypothesis that individuals’ GABA levels within the DLPFC predict their WM performance. WM is a multifaceted construct composed of multiple component processes (GoldmanRakic, 1996; Baddeley, 2003), which are likely supported by distinct neurobiol ...
