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).

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).

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 ...

2005), in milk spots from newborn mice and in brain homogenates. Glutamate and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentrations were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). In brief, 200 ...

Dissociation is the brain’s defense against overwhelming stress, involving altered brain regions, neurotransmitters, and ...

New research sheds light on how ketamine affects the brain by targeting a specific NMDA receptor subtype, GluN1-2B-2D.

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

These sleep loss changes are recovered by sleep. Sleep genes are enriched for synaptic shaping cellular components controlling glutamate synapse phenotype, overlap with autism risk genes, and are ...

members of the excitatory ionotropic glutamate receptor family, are essential to these processes. They regulate the strength of synaptic connections, playing a critical role in advanced brain ...

But abnormalities in the function of other neurotransmitters, including GABA and glutamate, have also been suggested by research. What are some ways the brain differs in people with autism?

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 ...
