Gaba can induce phasic or tonic inhibition in neurons through synaptic or extrasynaptic gabaa receptors, respectively. Ligands of the gabaa receptor benzodiazepine binding site. In studies focused on the control of neurotransmitter release, it was noted that a gaba receptor was responsible for modulating evoked release in a variety of isolated tissue preparations.
