A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.
A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.
An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.
Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.
