Which of the following is a function of gamma aminobutyric acid?
A)to control the precision of the signal being carried from one neuron to the next
B)to play a role in exciting neurons to fire
C)to serve as the brain's accelerator
D)to excite heart muscle and intestines

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that decreases the excitability of neurons, leading to decreased neural signal transmission. It plays a crucial role in controlling the precision of the signal being carried from one neuron to the next by preventing excessive signaling and ensuring a stable neural network. Option B and D are incorrect as GABA is not involved in exciting neurons or heart muscle and intestines. Option C is not a known function of GABA in the brain.
