Difference between Gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Paradoxical disinhibition

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid vs. Paradoxical disinhibition

gamma-Aminobutyric acid, or γ-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Paradoxical disinhibition is a paradoxical reaction, an uncommon but recognized phenomenon, characterized by acute excitement and an altered mental state, caused by benzodiazepines, the mechanism being poorly known, but the most accepted theory is that it occurs secondary to inhibition of the restraining influences of the cortex and frontal lobe due to the GABA-mimetic action of benzodiazepines.

Similarities between Gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Paradoxical disinhibition

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Paradoxical disinhibition have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Benzodiazepine, Neurotransmitter.

Benzodiazepine

Benzodiazepines (BZD, BZs), sometimes called "benzos", are a class of psychoactive drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring.
