How do Toxins Affect Inhibitory Neurotransmitters?
Toxins can interfere with the synthesis, release, receptor binding, or reuptake of inhibitory neurotransmitters. For instance, certain pesticides inhibit GABAergic activity, resulting in convulsions and seizures. Other toxins may mimic or block the action of inhibitory neurotransmitters, disrupting the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals.
