GABAergic System Calm

Meaning

GABAergic System Calm describes the state of physiological tranquility and reduced neuronal excitability achieved through the optimal function of the Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) neurotransmitter system. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, responsible for counteracting the excitatory signals of glutamate to promote relaxation, alleviate anxiety, and facilitate sleep onset. Clinical strategies aim to support this system to induce a natural, non-sedating sense of calm and to restore balance to an overstimulated nervous system.
