Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and balancing glutamate, brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, may help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

These sleep loss changes are recovered by sleep. Sleep genes are enriched for synaptic shaping cellular components controlling glutamate synapse phenotype, overlap with autism risk genes, and are ...

We also summarize the current knowledge regarding the detrimental role of astrocytes and reassess the frequently proposed hypothesis of glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity with respect to changes in ...

When shopping for glutamine supplements, read labels carefully. Do not confuse glutamine for another chemical called glutamate (glutamic acid). Taking too much glutamate can cause seizures and kill ...

This particular assay was developed to support the diagnosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Looking ahead, Prof. Park shared his future goals, which include developing biosensors ...

Ketamine may work in other ways in the brain, too. Some nerve cells in the brain involved in mood use a chemical called glutamate to communicate with each other. The nerve cells need glutamate ...
