E, SV2A binder, that's the one! It's like pregabalin is the bouncer at the neuron's door, keeping the party under control.

GABA agonist, for sure. Pregabalin is like a virtual hug for your neurons, calming them down and preventing seizures.

I'm pretty sure it's a 2 ligand, so B is the right choice. It binds to a specific receptor that helps regulate neuronal activity.

Pregabalin is a GABA agonist, so D is the correct answer. It enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA in the brain, leading to reduced neuronal excitability and seizure control.
