11. 2. Mechanisms of actions (1) Sites of action: mainly acts on limbic system and midbrain reticular formation. (2) Interaction with GABA A receptor Benzodiazepines bind to specific, high affinity sites on the cell membrane, which are separate from but adjacent to the receptor for  -aminobutyric acid (GABA). The binding of benzodiazepines enhances the affinity of GABA receptor for this neurotransmitter, resulting in a more frequent opening of adjacent chloride channels. - coagonist This in turn results in enhanced hyperpolarization （超极化） and further inhibition of neuronal firing.
