What Are the Clinical Implications of Disrupted Inhibitory Neurotransmission?
Disrupted inhibitory neurotransmission can lead to a range of clinical symptoms, including anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and even death in severe cases. In toxicology, identifying the disruption of inhibitory neurotransmitter systems can help diagnose and treat poisoning cases. For instance, benzodiazepines are often used as antidotes for convulsions induced by toxin exposure because they can enhance GABAergic transmission, restoring balance in the nervous system.
