    Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, 4072, Australia
    Cell Tissue Res 320:379-92. 2005
    ..We suggest that differences in GAT distribution, especially the expression of GAT-3 by oligodendrocytes in humans, must be accommodated in extrapolating rodent models of GABA homeostasis to humans...
