Well, the Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitory neurotransmitter acts through a negative feedback system to block the transmission of a signal from one cell to another. It is important for balancing the excitation in the brain. Benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety drugs, e.g. Lexapro, Valium.) work on the GABA receptors of the brain, inducing a state of relaxation. Hope this helped.

What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
What mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell?
agonists Chemical substances that mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell, increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell. Drug that enhances the effects of a particular neurotransmitter.
What neurotransmitter neuron to muscle cell?
sensory neurones
What is neurotransmitter and give examples?
A chemical that is released from a nerve cell which thereby transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to another nerve, muscle, organ, or other tissue. A neurotransmitter is a messenger of neurologic information from one cell to another.
Which is an example of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintained a stable environment?
Some examples of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintains a stable environments are that: - It prevents minerals in the water from flowing into the cell. - It prevents salt from flowing in.
What is the neurotransmitter that causes the receiving the cell to stop firing?
inhibitory transmitters
What causes the receiving cell the fire?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
The effect of a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic cell occurs when the neurotransmitter?
binds to specific receptors on postsynaptic cell membrane
What is the functions of neurotransmitter?
The neurotransmitters are stored in tiny sac-like structures called vesicles at the end of axons. When an impulse, or nerve signal, reaches the end of the axon, the vesicles release a neurotransmitter into the small space between the adjoining cells (synaptic gap). Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synapse and bind to receptors in the receiving cell that are specific for the neurotransmitter.
Is histamine a neurotransmitter?
Histamine is a neurotransmitter produced by basophils (a type of white blood cell).

A chemical found in the synaptic vesicles that when released has an effect on the next cell is called a?
neurotransmitters
What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons?
Presynaptic neurons release the neurotransmitter in response to an action potential. Postsynaptic neurons receive the neurotransmitter (and can however become presynaptic to the next nerve cell, if the neurotransmitter has stimulated the cell enough).
Compound that influences a postsynaptic cell's response to a neurotransmitter?
neuromodulator
What substances are secreted at the end of each nerve cell?
neurotransmitter
What neurotransmitter neuron to muscle cell?
sensory neurones
