Description

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an endogenous neurotransmitter that controls neuronal excitability, muscle tone, stem cell growth, brain development, and mood. During development, GABA acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter but switches later to an inhibitory function. GABA displays anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and amnestic activities, inducing relaxation and decreasing anxiety in clinical settings.
