One main class of these drugs, which includes propofol and the ether-derivative sevoflurane, work primarily by increasing the activity of inhibitory GABAA receptors, while a second class that includes ...

What Are Ion Channel Receptors? Ion channel receptors ... Other neurotransmitters exert an inhibitory effect, counteracting any excitatory input and lessening the chance that the target cell ...

Alcohol suppresses excitatory signals while enhancing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. When GABA receptors are stimulated, they reduce neuron firing, ...
