Recent pre‑clinical work has mapped the synaptic changes that underlie benzodiazepine tolerance. Chronic exposure uncouples GABA(A) receptors from their benzodiazepine binding site, down‑regulates α1‑subunit mRNA, and reshapes receptor trafficking through auxiliary proteins such as Shisa7. These alterations weaken inhibitory signalling, requiring higher drug doses to achieve the same anxiolytic or hypnotic effect. The findings clarify why long‑term benzodiazepine therapy often loses efficacy and precipitates dependence.
