In reply to Scientists discover gut bacteria that eats GABA, posted by PeterMartin on July 2, 2016, at 3:12:51
I didn't read the hyperlinks within the article itself, but my first thought is there must be a link between the vagus nerve and these recent findings about gut bacteria, so I found this during a cursory search of Gaba + Vagus Nerve.

I think the relationship is complicated and not completely understood, and I do not follow the science involoved...but could the gaba effect not be directly centered in the brain? Also, I do not know if and how gaba can travel along nerves or affect the electrical firings.
