In the long term, excessive drinking makes neurons less excitable and permanently changes the mRNA and protein levels in GABA receptors.

Magnesium is important for binding and activating GABA receptors.

Natural Progesterone is Calming Natural progesterone is a calming hormone because it affects the GABA receptors in the brain.

GABA receptors are spread out throughout the brain and they are ligand - activated chloride channels that when activated, allow the negatively charged chloride ions across the cell membrane and into the cell where they reduce cellular activity.

They traced the effect to changes in dopamine, a brain chemical that contributes to the experience of reward, and to possible changes in GABA receptors, which can act as a brake system to keep dopamine in check.

According to the researchers, brain injury may alter GABA receptors, causing regions of the brain to remain dormant.

GABA receptors in humans and rats are very similar and the fact that the mutation occurs naturally suggests that people, too, may be genetically predisposed to be hypersensitive to alcohol's effects.
