Respuesta :

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as (B:GABA) is linked to seizures. 

An undersupply of gamma-Aminobutyric acid or GABA is the cause of seizures. So, the correct option is B.

What is the function of GABA?

GABA is a neurotransmitter or a chemical messenger of the brain. It is important to slow down the functioning of the brain. It does so by blocking some specific signals that may enter the central nervous system (CNS).

As a result of blocking these signals, GABA can produce a calming effect on the brain in conditions of anxiety, fear and stress.

GABA is able to limit the ability of nerve cells to receive chemical signals from other nerve cells, develop chemical signals or send chemical signals to other nerve cells. Thus the functioning of GABA is very important and delicate and any abnormality related to a change in levels of this can result in serious problems.

Any abnormality relating to a change in the levels of GABA can manifest as a neurological or mental health disorder. In a pyridoxine or vitamin B6 deficiency, enough amount of GABA is not synthesized. This causes seizures, mostly in infancy and this condition can be treated with supplements of Vitamin B6.

Therefore, the correct option is B
