The structure of muscimol, a GABAergic hallucinogen.
GABAergic hallucinogens are substances that increase the amount of GABA in the brain, or agonise the GABA receptors. Unlike many GABAergics, they, however, can also cause hallucinations and bizarre behavior. These hallucinations and behavioral changes are likely a result of GABAC, or GABAA-ρ agonism. The most well known of these drugs are Z-drugs, like zolpidem (Ambien). Fly agaric mushrooms (Amanita muscaria) contain muscimol, which is a GABAergic hallucinogen.
