Episode description

Can GABA help you sleep? 


What you should know about gaba, how it works and a bit of geeking out on the brain.

In a nutshell: The same teansmitter can have different effects on states depending on where it is active in the brain!

P.S. there is always an underlying cause as to why things go out of balance.

P.P.S. unless you have a seringe to administer GABA straight into your brain to the right region: watch this to make sure you are not inadvertandly increasing wakefulness and inhibiting sleep *oops*

P.P.P.S. got one thing wrong minute 3:59 block = GABA traffic jam = higher levels = less sleep
In a nutshell: The same teansmitter can have different effects on states depending on where it is active in the brain!
