Question
true or false question
true or false: an inhibitory neurotransmitter will make the postsynaptic membrane less likely to reach threshold and thus less likely to fire an action potential.
o true
o false
Brief Explanations
Inhibitory neurotransmitters hyperpolarize the postsynaptic membrane, increasing the difference between the current membrane potential and the threshold potential. This makes it more difficult for the membrane to reach the threshold required to generate an action potential.
