GABA'S ROLE IN THE BRAIN. GABA is made in brain cells from glutamate, and functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter meaning that it blocks nerve impulses. Glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter and when bound to adjacent cells encourages them to fire and send a nerve impulse.NTRODUCTION: Gamma-Amino Butyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It inhibits nerve transmission in the brain, calming nervous activity. As a supplement it is sold and promoted for these neurotransmitter effects as a natural tranquilizer.
GABA and the Blood-Brain Barrier. Despite all of these benefits of GABA, you might be wondering why GABA supplements themselves are ineffective for anxiety. The reason has to do with something called the blood-brain barrier which is a system in your brain that separates circulating blood from reaching your brain tissue.t is produced in the brain from Glutamate (another amino acid and neurotransmitter) as well as vitamin B6. However, GABA does not work in a similar fashion to most other amino acids; it does not become involved in the building of proteins.
