If a post-synaptic ionotropic receptor is permeable to potassium and assuming all normal ionic distributions, the response in the post synaptic cell will be inhibitory.
Ion channels that open in response to the binding of a neurotransmitter are known as ionotropic receptors, also known as neurotransmitter-gated or ligand-gated channels.
If there is a synapse, they can be found anywhere along the neuron, though they are typically found around the dendrites or cell body.
Ligand-gated channels play a crucial role in the transmission of information from one neuron to another.
Postsynaptic receptors can identify two different kinds of neurotransmitters.
The action potential is swiftly transmitted by ionotropic receptors, also known as ligand-gated ion channels, to depolarize the neuron (or hyperpolarize the neuron and inhibit additional action potentials).
