Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-74155-5_7

It is well established that the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediates many of its effects by binding to the GABAA receptor, which is present on the majority of mammalian brain neurons (Enna, 1983), resulting in the opening o...
