Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and balancing glutamate, brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, may help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

The scans revealed that the difficult-task group had higher levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in that area of the brain at the end of the day when compared to the easy-task group. That result ...

Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, playing a crucial role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Understanding how glutamate is transported and how it interacts ...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder with unclear causes, affecting about 10% of the global ...

Some nerve cells in the brain involved in mood use a chemical called glutamate to communicate with each other. The nerve cells need glutamate receptors – think of them like catcher’s mitts for ...

A groundbreaking study suggests that IBS might be more of a brain issue than a gut disorder. Researchers found that ...

We have investigated the role of mitochondrial calcium buffering in excitotoxic cell death. Glutamate acts at NMDA receptors in cultured rat forebrain neurons to increase the intracellular free ...

The manufacturer of AV-101, an investigational, oral nonopioid, NMDA-targeting therapy to treat neuropathic pain, announced ...

Research reveals that δ-receptor agonists like KNT-127 alleviate IBS symptoms by modulating gut-brain interactions and ...
