===Neurotransmission===
Inhibitory neurons in the [[central nervous system]] play a homeostatic role in the balance of neuronal activity between excitation and inhibition. Inhibitory neurons using [[GABA]], make compensating changes in the neuronal networks preventing runaway levels of excitation.<ref name="Flores">{{cite journal|last1=Flores|first1=CE|last2=Méndez|first2=P|title=Shaping inhibition: activity dependent structural plasticity of GABAergic synapses.|journal=Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience|date=2014|volume=8|pages=327|doi=10.3389/fncel.2014.00327|pmid=25386117|pmc=4209871|doi-access=free}}</ref> An imbalance between excitation and inhibition is seen to be implicated in a number of [[neuropsychiatry|neuropsychiatric disorders]].<ref name="Um">{{cite journal|last1=Um|first1=Ji Won|title=Roles of Glial Cells in Sculpting Inhibitory Synapses and Neural Circuits|journal=Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience|date=13 November 2017|volume=10|pages=381|doi=10.3389/fnmol.2017.00381|pmid=29180953|pmc=5694142|doi-access=free}}</ref>
