Citicoline is a medication that protects the nerves. It functions on the brain by feeding the nerve cells, safeguarding them from harm, and enhancing their survival. A GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) analogue is called piracetam. It functions by preventing the brain and nervous system from experiencing oxygen deprivation and by influencing different ion channels on the membrane of nerve cells.
