GABA neurotransmitter system that we covered in class. Create a
'character' for that neurotransmitter based on your understanding of how it regulates the nervous system. Points for
creativity!
1. Describe the 'characteristics' of GABA neurotransmitter character and how it carries out its job in the nervous
system (eg. Is GABA neurotransmitter energetic/does it stimulate the brain? Does it have a good memory/is it associated with the process of consolidating memory? Does it regulate the body?).
2. Neurotransmitters are spread throughout the brain. Name a brain region where GABA neurotransmitter
likes to function and the job that it serves there.
3. Describe what would happen if GABA neurotransmitter didn't perform its duty.
4. All neurotransmission is impacted in some way when they interact with specific drugs. Describe one agonist and
antagonist for GABA neurotransmitter and the subsequent effects when they interact with your character.
