GABA/GABAergic

Benzodiazepines. Several BZs have anticonvulsant activity and ate used for the treatment of epilepsy producing their anticonvulsant actions via interactions with the GABA /BZ receptor complex to enhance inhibitory GABAergic transmission (1). The anticonvulsant actions of the BZs tend to tolerate upon chronic usage in six months, and BZs also lead to withdrawal symptomatology. Other side effects include sedation, ataxia, and cognitive impairment. 

GABA (y-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid with mostly inhibitory functions in the mammalian central nervous system. Structures involved in releasing or binding GABA as a neurotransmitter constitute the GABAergic system. The GABAergic system is involved...

COMMENT You were showing your reticulata cell showing an increased aetivation. Some people think that they may have this feedback mechanism. Several years ago Koob and others were postulating that this was indeed part of an outflow system. And if you put GABA or GABAergic drugs into that outflow system, that you could also produce behaviors.
