The aim of neurochemistry, or the biochemistry of the nervous system, is to discover the nature or those substances involved in the changes which enable nerve cells to accomplish their unique function as highly specialized conducting cells, to study the metabolism or these substances and to determine how and to what extent they regulate these functional changes. Hence the aim or neurochemical research on gamma-aminobutyric acid is simply to further our understanding of the neuron at the molecular level and of the way in which active molecules like gamma-aminobutyric acid regulate, or are involved in, neuronal function.
