When it is the case that early work is relevant to a particular section, then that work will be cited, often in addition to a recent review. In the case of general material, for which a very wide literature exists, then a general reference source, usually a textbook, is cited.

When, in addition to GABA, one of these drugs is present (and bound to its binding site), the action of GABA on the receptor will be modified. Binding sites on receptors, which modify the actions of the neurotransmitter, are known as allosteric binding sites. The presence or absence of allosteric binding sites on receptors is one way in which the action of a particular neurotransmitter may be made more specific.
