    GlossaryGABA receptor

    protein in the brain that inhibits neuronal activity

    A GABA receptor is a protein in the brain that responds to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It plays a crucial role in reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. There are two main types: GABA(A) receptors, which are ion channels that allow chloride ions to enter the neuron, leading to inhibition, and GABA(B) receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors that influence neuronal activity through secondary messenger systems.
