Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that both GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter) and norepinephrine (a stress hormone and neurotransmitter) may be involved in panic disorders. Low levels of GABA have been associated with increased anxiety and panic while high levels of norepinephrine have been linked to the physical symptoms of panic attacks. Therefore, the best choice is A as it reflects both neurotransmitters that are implicated in panic disorders.
