All over the world and social media everyone talks about Dopamine and dopamine detox!
Then you have Dan Brown who puts that down and goes for the king!
The novel secret of Secrets takes on GABA!
The chemical has been told to have some amazing properties! The proper amount is the key!
Apparently GABA is the brake which is always making our brain to be held within its constraints! Once the break is over or removed then the brain is free!
Apparently this is why children are so receptive to change and learn so much! It is all a play of the GABA!
Research on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in children reveals they are not static but are intricately involved in brain development, with distinct functional differences compared to adult brains. The role of GABA shifts from being excitatory in the very early brain to primarily inhibitory later on, which is critical for proper neural circuit formation.
Now in the early embryonic and early postnatal brain, GABA acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter. It influences crucial processes like the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of neurons.
Then you have the “GABA switch” when from GABA being excitatory becomes inhibitory. This shift is governed by changes in the levels of chloride-transporting proteins. The proper timing of this switch is crucial for healthy development, and disruptions have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
Studies have shown that children exhibit more dynamic GABA activity than adults, allowing them to stabilize learning more quickly. Research found that children experience a rapid boost in GABA concentrations during visual learning, which helps stabilize new skills, a phenomenon not observed in adults.
In adults GABA is well-known for its role in controlling anxiety, fear, and stress, which are often factors that interfere with sleep. But it is primarily inhibitory! According to Dan it is seen that in some situations the levels becomes so low that the full power of the brain is unleashed!
If you have a super power or super person inside you, then maybe it is the GABA which is holding you back! Then again the novel was fiction!
So read all novel related documents carefully before kicking the GABA out!
Then again if you want a kick then simply listen to an amazing number by Shaan!
Shubh ratri!
