Inhibitory: These neurotransmitters counter the excitatory response, blocking the transmission of a chemical message. An example of an inhibitory neurotransmitter is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form memories, and regulate our mood.

Now, a new study in people with the copy variant number 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) probes the excitatory-inhibitory neurotransmitter system prior to the onset of psychosis.

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, or GABA, is thought to be the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, dampening a nerve cell’s ability to communicate via chemical messages to other nerve cells.

Now, a new study in people with the copy variant number 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) probes the excitatory-inhibitory neurotransmitter system prior to the onset of psychosis.
