This would increase the influx of chloride ions, leading to hyperpolarization of cells, preventing depolarization that would, in turn, decrease DA release. Baclofen binds with the GABAergic presynaptic receptor, causing hyperpolarization of the membrane and limiting the influx of calcium into the presynaptic terminal. |
