•CNS equilibrium is determined by a
balance between
excitatory and
inhibitory neurotransmission
–Excitation ->
Glutamate is prototypical NT.
–Inhibition -> GABA
is prototypical NT.
–
•Inhibition via GABA is primarily mediated
by the ionotropic GABA-A receptor.
–GABA binding to
GABA-A results in an
increase in neuronal Cl- conductance and
subsequent neuronal hyperpolarization.
