which neurons are used to inhibit behavriors?

Question

neurons that keep a person from acting irrationally

Answer 1

Ah - those are two different questions

(1) Inhibitory neurons are used to inhibit pathways - and thus behaviours. These are usually the ones that have GABA as their neurotransmitter. GABA acts on the the GABA receptor to produce an inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

(2) Frontal lobe neurons are the ones that keep a person from acting irrationally. The frontal lobe mediates actions (motor cortex at the very back of the frontal lobe) and more complex behaviours (and a ton of other things - but these are the ones pertinent to your question).

Answer 2

If you are referring to active irrational, or destructive behavior, there are normally neurons in the frontal lobe (the so called supraorbital frontal cortex) which regulates the inhibitory or regulatory behavior of all human beings, increasing the self awareness of being wrong or giving the so called insight..that means the self notion of right or wrong......so, the answer is the frontal supraorbital cortex.....
