Question

Some neurotransmitters make it more likely that a neuron will send its message to other neurons, a process known as ________; whereas some make it less likely that a neuron will send its message, a process known as ________.

Answer 1

(A) Excitatory (B) Inhibitory

Explanation:

• Excitatory neurotransmitters affect the neuron by showing the excitatory effects. This implies they improve the probability that the neuron will fire an activity potential.  
• For Example: Acetylcholine, Epinephrine.  
• Inhibitory neurotransmitters affect the neuron by showing the inhibitory effects. This implies they decline the probability that the neuron will fire an activity.
• For example: Gamma-aminobutyric acid, Serotonin.
• Some neurotransmitters , for example, Dopamine,  make both excitatory and inhibitory impacts.
