Understanding the Role of Locus Coeruleus in Pushing Through Physical Limits.
20:48 - 26:17 (05:29)
Scientists have discovered a new class of neurons in the locus coeruleus region called the GABAergic neurons that plays an important role in our physical performance. These neurons produce GABA to regulate the locus ceruleus neurons that produce neurotransmitters needed for motivation, movement, and attention, which could help sportspeople push through physical limits.
