  1. Inhibitory synapses - These synapses have neuroreceptors that are chloride channels. When the channels open, negative ions flow in causing a local hyperpolarisation and making an action potential less likely. So with these synapses an impulse in one neurone can inhibit an impulse in the next. Typical neurotransmitters are glycine or GABA.

    Networks of inhibitory neurons connected by GABAergic synapses have been proposed to serve an important function for information processing in various cortical regionsof the brain.


  2. Brain injury, broken pathways from being disturbed, possibly from an operation that was done to or in the brain, etc... Or pressure on the brain either from spinal fluid or blood pressure, or even a tumor.
