GABAergic System Balance

Meaning

GABAergic System Balance refers to the optimal functional state of the neural system mediated by Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Achieving this balance is essential for regulating neuronal excitability, promoting calmness, reducing anxiety, and facilitating restorative sleep. A well-balanced GABAergic system is critical for maintaining emotional stability and preventing the overstimulation that can lead to chronic stress and cognitive fatigue. This equilibrium ensures appropriate inhibitory control within the central nervous system.
