What part of brain does buspar (buspirone) effect? what part of brain does xanax effect?

Different chemistry: Both medications are used for treatment of anxiety but their mechanisms of action are different. Buspar (buspirone) functions as a serotonin 5-ht1a receptor partial agonist while Ativan (lorazepam) have high affinity for GABA receptors.
