New study finds similarities in how fish and humans destress
The point of similarity is in the timing of the development of the GABA receptors. In both humans (mammals) and anemone the receptors develop at initial stages of the nervous system.

Humans and fish destress in similar ways, a new study from the University of Haifa has found.
The research has found a link between GABA neurotransmitter activity in the human brain and sea anemones in a study that was published in the Nature Ecology and Evolution, according to a Monday press release.
 

The GABA neurotransmitter is responsible for inhibiting specific brain signals, decreasing nervous system activity.
When GABA neurotransmitters attaches to their receptors in the brain, that reduces stress and anxiety, producing a calming effect.

The goal of the study was to analyze which "biological processes control the development of the sea anemone," and found the similarity with the human brain.
“In the study, we not only discovered that a receptor from the GABABR [GABA] family controls the metamorphosis process in the sea anemone, but also that the molecular path is similar to that found in humans, and in both cases it mediates nervous system functions," stated the researchers.
