Abstract

Metamorphosis is a dramatic body change in metazoans that allows the use of different ecological niches. Hozumi et al. show that GABA is a key regulator of metamorphosis in the ascidian Ciona. During this process, GABA, generally thought of as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, positively regulates secretion of the neuropeptide GnRH.
