Article Synopsis
- pSEV (peak saccadic eye velocity) is a key measure linked to GABA receptor function and has been studied in relation to menstrual cycle mood disorders like PMDD.
- Despite its use in drug studies, there’s a lack of research on how pSEV responds to natural hormone fluctuations during the menstrual cycle.
- This pilot study found that pSEV is significantly lower during the luteal phase compared to the follicular phase, suggesting a potential link between menstrual hormones and GABA receptor activity.
