In a groundbreaking review paper published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, scientists have shed new light on the role of GABA, a key signaling molecule in the brain. Researchers from the Center for ...

GABA is one of the supplements patients ask me about a lot, often with looks of confusion on their faces. I think the confusion comes from the fact that GABA is both a chemical produced within the ...

GABA receptors, long recognised principally for their role in modulating neuronal excitability within the central nervous system, are now emerging as pivotal regulators of immune function. These ...

The intricate web of chemical messengers that facilitate communication between neurons represents one of the body’s most complex and fascinating systems. These neurotransmitters, including serotonin, ...

The brain is an almost inconceivably complex system of billions of neurons interlinked via trillions of connections that work to coordinate everything you do, think, and feel (Zimmer, 2011). This ...

GABA, your brain’s main calming neurotransmitter, plays a big role in relaxation, mood balance, and sleep. While supplements and foods may help, science is still catching up on exactly how. Knowing ...

Diabetes is a disease affecting two pancreatic hormones — insulin and glucagon. In healthy people, insulin helps cells take up glucose from the blood when glucose levels are high. In contrast, ...

Study highlights how compensatory inhibitory signaling contributes to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. They found ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow ...

A trial enrolling 97 children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes did not meet the primary endpoint of preservation of insulin production by beta cells, but it did show a significant decrease in ...
