Suggestions/edits
Hey there! looks like your chapter is coming along really nicely. I have noticed however, in your referencing that there are some non-academic sources in there. I have listed them down bellow with how you have formatted them and also added them to your external links with the correct links.

 * Hi!
 * This seems like a super interesting topic. Due to its broad nature, the effect of GABA on motivation and emotion would have a lot of important clinical implications! Building on the references listed above, here are some more academic sources that I thought might be helpful:
 * Wirtshafter, D., & Stratford, T.R. (2010). Evidence for motivational effects elicited by activation of GABA-A or dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell.
 * Barson, J.R., & Leibowitz, S.F. (2015). GABA-induced inactivation of dorsal midline thalamic subregions has distinct effects on emotional behaviours. Clarestuparich (discuss • contribs)Clarestuparich (discuss • contribs) 11:25, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
