What part of neuron that receive a signals from other neurons?
Yes. They interact with each other via chemical "signals" called neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. In this way, a neuron sends an excitatory (stimulating) or inhibitory (destimulating) signal to another neuron to cause it to generate a nerve impulse or prevent it from generating one, respectively.
What are the Inhibitory cells in the olfactory bulbs called?
Mitral Cells.
Inactive protein containing one or more inhibitory peptides is called?
pro-protein
Does the cell cycle become uncontrolled in cancer?
Yes
A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mZV is called what?
IPSP - inhibitory post synaptic potential
What is the summing up of excitatory and inhibitory signals in a neuron called?
Integration
What is excitatory messages?
There are two kinds of neurotransmitters - INHIBITORY and EXCITATORY. Excitatory neurotransmitters are not necessarily exciting - they are what stimulate the brain. Those that calm the brain and help create balance are called inhibitory. Inhibitory neurotransmitters balance mood and are easily depleted when the excitatory neurotransmitters are overactive.
Is acetylcholine an catecholamines?
Its a stimulatory and Inhibitory in nature..eg..it induces contraction of skeletal muscles fibres & inhibits contraction in cardiac muscle fibres. ---------------------------------------------------------Recommend if u like this.....
What is the function of a neurotransmitter?
NEUROTRANSMITTERS are the brain chemicals that communicate information throughout our brain and body. They relay signals between nerve cells, called "neurons." The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your stomach to digest. They can also affect mood, sleep, concentration, weight, and can cause adverse symptoms when they are out of balance. Neurotransmitter levels can be depleted many ways. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that 86% of Americans have suboptimal neurotransmitter levels. Stress, poor diet, neurotoxins, genetic predisposition, drug (prescription and recreational), alcohol and caffeine usage can cause these levels to be out of optimal range.There are two kinds of neurotransmitters - INHIBITORY and EXCITATORY.

WHAT are neurotransmitters are inhibitory?
neurotransmitters are called Inhibitory if the activation of the receptors causes hyper-polarisation and depresses action potential generation (slows down processes)
The condition that produces inhibition at a synapse is called what?
Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft (a very short distance) and bind to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane. Excitatory neurotransmitters cause sodium ions to move through receptor proteins depolarizing the membrane. Inhibitory neurotransmitters do not depolarize the postsynaptic membrane. Thus, the condition that would produce inhibition at synapse is called HYPERPOLARIZATION.
What is hyperpolarization of a dendrite by a neurotransmitter called?
According to Biologists, the hyper polarization of a dendrite by a neurotransmitter is known as an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP).
What are the Inhibitory cells in the olfactory bulbs called?
Mitral Cells.

What is the difference between the way excitatory and inhibitory transmitters work?
As a rule more than one presynaptic action potential is needed to fire the postsynaptic neuron or muscle so that the trigger to initiate an action potential are either many subthreshold local potentials from different sources or from the same neuron received within a short period of time. The first case is called spatial summation and the second case is called temporal summation. Whether a postsynaptic potential (another term for a local potential) is excitatory or inhibitory depends on what ion channels are affected by the transmitter released from the presynaptic vesicles.
