HealthDay (2/29,
Dallas) reports that a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research
suggests that “sleep apnea may have an impact on brain function.” Investigators
“examined levels of two brain chemicals: glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid,
also known as GABA.” The research indicated that individuals “with sleep apnea
have lower levels of GABA and abnormally high levels of glutamate.”
