  • GABA ensures the nerves in the brain function correctly
    GABA also ensures that all the neurons in the brain function correctly, by ensuring they accept and act upon the the signals sent to them, which are to decrease activity and inhibit nerve cells from over-firing. GABA prevents anxiety and stress-related messages from reaching the motor centers of the brain by occupying their receptor sites, thus blocking these sites from the neural impulses.
