One example is the country of Iceland which is a large island right on the mid-Atlantic ridge which is where the Atlantic oceanic plate is rifted in two and where the underlying magma wells up to the surface as the two sides to the plate move opposite to each other. The resulting volcanic rock then builds itself up into an island.

A neurotransmitter may have an excitatory or an inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on __________.

Otrada [13]

A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on which of its receptor(s) are present on the postsynaptic (target) cell.

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.
