Product Code: NHP-365-4301100g powderSupporting the brain to make sense of incoming information
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is an inhibitory neurotransmitter amino acid. Many people find GABA to be an effective aid for relaxation and sleep.
British researchers have found that the age-related decline in higher brain functions is due, in large part, to a lack of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA. Higher brain functions, such as visual recognition and language comprehension, decline as people get older. This decline appears to be due to a reduction of GABA, which results in neurons with specific tasks being more easily fired by some other types of stimulus, slowing down processing of information in the brain.
As people age, brain neurons increasingly fire non-selectively, and interpreting information then becomes like listening to ?whispering in the discotheque as opposed to shouting in a quiet room.? The new research shows that GABA works as a ?gating? mechanism to help neurons remain selective when responding to stimuli to enable the brain to make sense of the vast quantity of incoming information.
When old Macaque monkeys, equivalent to 90-year-old humans, were treated with GABA and drugs that increase GABA levels in the brain, their performance on tests for brain functions improved vastly within a couple of minutes. ?The fact is all the cells are still there and functioning, it?s a transmitter problem - it?s treatable.? While doctors have observed the paradoxical effect of GABA-enhancing drugs making people more alert, this is the first study to show that increasing GABA or its effects can reverse mental decline.
