Whether the effect of a neurotransmitter is excitatory or inhibitory depends on the receptor it binds to.

<h3>What is Neurotransmitter?</h3>

A neurotransmitter may be defined as the chemical substances present within the synaptic vesicles and transmitting the impulse through synapses.

Examples of excitatory neurotransmitters are glutamate, norepinephrine, epinephrine, etc. Such neurotransmitters promote the electrical impulse and allow the passage of messages.

Examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters are serotonin, glycine, GABA, etc. Such neurotransmitters inhibit the passage of electrical impulses and block information.

Therefore, it is well described above.

forsale [732]

Answer:

The cells of the visual cortex are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.

Explanation:

These neurons respond to stimuli presented to both eyes. Simple cells receive innervation directly from thalamic cells and respond to light stimuli with defined orientation and with specific configuration and location in the visual field. Complex cells also respond to the orientation parameter.

These cells trigger action potentials when the visual stimulus appears within their receptive field.
