Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depressants are substances that slow down the nervous system, leading to a decrease in brain activity and a feeling of relaxation or sedation. Examples of depressants include alcohol, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines. They work by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which inhibits nerve transmissions in the brain. This leads to a decrease in neural activity, causing neurons to fire more slowly.
