If you wanted to learn more about the GABA receptor, this (chapter III) is a very good site---from Williams College:

(It's the GABA-A receptor on which alcohol, benzodiazepines and phenobarital each have their primary
neuro-actions.)

The so-called ``fluroquinolone'' family of antibiotics is extremely dangerous, producing a great deal of nerve damage in many (often of a permanent sort). This is, evidently, not that well known. Here's a support forum and information site to learn about them:
