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.
Pugle, M. (2022, November 4). GABA: What it is, functions, and disorders. Verywell Health. https://www.verywellhealth.com/gaba-5095143
Berry, J. (2023, January 12). Neurotransmitters: What they are, functions, and psychology. Medical News Today. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326649#endorphins
C. C. medical. (n.d.). Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA): What it is, Function & Benefits. Cleveland Clinic. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22857-gamma-aminobutyric-acid-gaba
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.

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.
Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
Too many acronyms are used - explain concepts more simply
Move non-academic external links to the External links section
Use interwiki linking style for Wikipedia links (see Tutorial 02)
There's a lot of trees here but not so much forest; this plan would benefit by clarifying the focus questions and structuring the chapter around answering those questions using theory and research, with examples
Golden rule/tip: Answer the question in the sub-title - that's what matters. Other related stuff might be interesting, but won't count for marking purposes for the book chapter or multimedia presentation
How much of this is genAI content? GenAi content needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries otherwise it violates academic integrity.
Conclusion (the most important section):
Underway
What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?)
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.

Overall, the quality of written expression is good
Layout
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Avoid sections with only one sub-section
Abbreviations
Abbreviations are overused and poorly explained. Explain abbreviations (spell out) (e.g., HPA) when they are first introduced.
Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., etc.)
Spelling
Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
Proofreading
More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
Many of the embedded external links should instead be APA or wiki style citations or interwiki links to related book chapters or Wikipedia articles
Two uses of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Move links to non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
Very good use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Excellent use of feature box(es)
Very good use of case studies or examples
No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Use alphabetical order
Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title — this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be more consistent
A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.
