==Mechanism of Action==
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that opens post-synaptic Cl<sup>-</sup> channel to hyperpolarise the membrane and reduce the chance of action potential conduction occuring. Benzodiazepines modulate the GABA/Cl<sup>-</sup> channel complexes to enhance the effects of GABA. Benzodiazepines therefore have no intrinsic activity.
