There is no such things having too much or too little GABA in the synaptic space. The GABA is either positively or negatively charged. GABA acts at inhibitory synapses by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. This binding causes the opening of ion channels to allow the flow of either negatively charged chloride ions into the cell or positively charged potassium ions out of the cell. This action can result in a negative change in the transmembrane potential, usually causing hyperpolarization.

Space between a neuron and muscle?

Chemicals that cross the synaptic space from the axon to the dendrites are called?
Neurotransmitters.
What is the space between the sending and the receiving neuron called?

Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
What is the space between the nerve and muscle called?
The synapse is the name of the space between two nerves.
What is the space between neurons across which chemical messages pass?
The space between neurons is called the synaptic cleft. It is where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, travel across the cleft, and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit chemical messages.
