The answer is True: The use of barbiturates depresses the nervous system.

Explanation: Barbiturates are a class of drugs that act as central nervous system depressants. They work by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits the activity of neurons. This results in a sedative effect, which can range from mild sedation to total anesthesia. Therefore, the statement that the use of barbiturates depresses the nervous system is true.
