GABA: The brain's natural brake system
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It acts as a "brake" that dampens nerve activity and creates a balance in relation to stimulants such as glutamate. A well-functioning brain requires recovery through rest, sleep and breaks to restore energy levels.
Neurological and psychiatric conditions
Imbalances in the GABA system are scientifically linked to several disorders:
- Epilepsy : Occurs when there is an imbalance between inhibitory (GABA) and excitatory signals. Medications often increase GABA activity to prevent electrical overloads (seizures).
- Anxiety and Stress: Low GABA activity is closely linked to anxiety. Sedative medications often enhance GABA's effect.
- Depression : Disturbances in the circulation of GABA, noradrenaline and serotonin play a central role.
- Schizophrenia : Irregular GABA levels affect the brain's ability to filter and fine-tune signals.
Causes of neurological damage
Brain function and GABA balance can be negatively affected by various factors:
- Trauma (traffic accidents, skull fractures, work injuries).
- Congenital injuries (lack of oxygen at birth, placental abruption).
- Lifestyle factors (alcohol or drug abuse).
- Illness (for example, severe febrile seizures in childhood
- Methods to support the GABA system.
Green leafy vegetables, whole grains and fermented products (kefir/yogurt).
Dietary supplements
GABA supplements are used for stress and sleep problems. Note: Science is still debating how effectively supplements cross the blood-brain barrier.
Medicine
Drugs such as Pregabalin and Gabapentin are prescribed by doctors for anxiety and epilepsy.
Important note: Always consult a doctor before using supplements or medications, as improper treatment of neurological conditions can worsen the situation.
