D) underactivity; GABA
E) overactivity; dopamine

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overactivity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in mouse models of Down syndrome has been suggested to impair hippocampal synaptic plasticity, which is crucial for learning and memory processes. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, and its overactivity can lead to excessive inhibition, affecting neuronal communication and plasticity.
