The idea that gut microbes may be influencing mental health or even neurological disease isn't just exciting, it's transformational. Let’s explore how this invisible ecosystem within us could hold keys...

A new era has arrived, folks. We have entered the era of minor cannabinoids. And one of the most promising, making up just 1% of cannabis and hemp plants, is...

Any abnormalities in GABA metabolism, including variants in genes encoding enzymes responsible for GABA synthesis and degradation, transporters, and receptors, may lead to diseases. This article provides an overview of...

Far from being just a stimulant that keeps smokers hooked, nicotine plays a role in cognition, neuroprotection, inflammation, circulation, and even pain regulation. But here’s the catch: context is everything....

Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are different forms of vitamin B3 found in food. These compounds have identical vitamin activity; however, their pharmacological profiles differ. Indeed, nicotinamide has an amide group,...

In this article, we will examine the background of this relationship, the underlying mechanisms, interactions, and broader consequences of the synergy between nicotine and caffeine.

Alcohol is a widely used substance worldwide. While its effects on health remain unclear at low doses, several studies report that alcohol abstinence improves health, including sleep. However, its consumption...

Niacin exists in different forms, comprising nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, and nicotinamide riboside (NR). All of these compounds have essential roles in metabolism and cellular respiration. At the blood-brain barrier, nicotinamide is...

This article explores an emerging therapeutic approach using methylene blue, a chemical targeting mitochondria, and offering new hope for treating neurological disorders.

In this article, we will explore the differences and similarities between glutamine and glutamate, as well as discuss their metabolic roles, nutritional significance, and clinical applications. 

In today’s article, we will look at some of the main classes of drugs that affect glutamate levels and signaling, as well as their mechanisms, applications, and potential implications of...

In today’s article, we will briefly discuss five methods or lifestyle aspects that can potentially address issues with the blood-brain barrier, such as restoring a compromised blood-brain barrier and/or supporting...

Magnesium and GABA form a powerful duo that helps maintain a balanced and healthy brain, contributing to cognitive function, stress resilience, and neurological stability.

This article aims to provide information about psilocybin and agarin and comment on their similarities and differences, effects, and the implications associated with their use.

In today’s article, we explore GABA and glutamate, touch on the molecular mechanisms underpinning their actions, and their contributions to various physiological and pathological processes.
