How it works
The central actions of benzodiazepines are mediated through an enhancement of the GABAergic neurotransmission at inhibitory synapeses. In the presence of benzodiazepines, the affinity of the GABA receptor for the neurotransmitter is enhanced through positive allosteric modulation resulting in an increased action of released GABA on the postsynaptic transmembrance chloride ion flux.
