Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center of the GABA receptor contains a chloride channel, which allows for the passage of chloride ions into the cell membrane. This ultimately leads to hyperpolarization of the cell and inhibition of neuronal activity. Benzodiazepines are drugs that enhance the effects of GABA at its receptor site, but they are not actually part of the receptor itself. GABA is the neurotransmitter that binds to the receptor site, but it is not located at the center of the receptor. There is also no such thing as a "transmitter channel" in the context of the GABA receptor.
