GABA is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that inhibits or slows down brain signals and activity.
congrats on reading the definition of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). now let's actually learn it.
Inhibitory Neurotransmitter: A type of neurotransmitter, like GABA, that reduces the likelihood of generating an action potential and thus inhibits neuronal signaling.
These are drugs that enhance the effect of GABA in the body, leading to sedative and anxiety-reducing effects.
Neural Inhibition: This is a process by which an individual neuron can prevent the transmission of signals from other neurons.
