> Wow, Linkadge! Great work. I like how much you are able to say in so few words. Very concise and efficient. Have you ever considered writing? I didn't know there were subtypes of the GABA-A receptor.
>Usually they are called "subunits". A single GABA-A receptor has multiple types of subunits. Meanwhile, GABA-A and -B are sub*types*. Furthermore, GABA-A is ionotropic, namely chloride ion channels, whereas GABA-B is metabotropic, that is acting via an intracellular "second messenger" molecule.
