Sodium valproate
Sodium valproate, the sodium salt of valproic acid, is an anti-epileptic agent that elevates brain GABA levels by inhibiting its degradation, thereby enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission. It is widely used in neuroscience research, including in vitro electrophysiology studies and in vivo models of seizures and neurological disorders, to investigate GABAergic mechanisms and neuronal excitability.
