I would like to expand on this topic--

Inhibitory neurons use GABA primarily and are responsible for reducing over excitation. It is thought that ADD/ADHD is a disorder of poor inhibitory control.

More on inhibition:

For learning about the nervous system this is a good site.
It was made for kids, but I think it is a good learning tool for everyone:

example of inhibitory neurons and pain:
https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/pain.html

The Washington site is huge... but filled with useful information to help you understand your nervous system.
