depressants such as alcohol and barbiturates and benzodiazepine [speed up/slow down] the central nervous system. they do this in different ways,
alcohol increases the effectiveness of [Glutamate/Gaba/dopamine] and inhibits [Glutamate/Gaba/dopamine]
barbiturates and benzodiazepine act on [Glutamate/Gaba/dopamine]
slow down
alcohol increases glutamate and decreases gaba and dopamine
barbiturates and benzodiazepine act on gaba
