State

GABA is the brain's main inhibitory neurotransmitter and glutamate is its main excitatory one.

Anti-anxiety medications increase GABA activity, lowering the overall firing rate of anxious circuits.

Inhibition is not shutdown. Precise inhibition is what makes any coordinated pattern possible.
