Inhibit it by hyper polarizing the membrane or excite it by bringing the voltage closer to the threshold potential.
Neurotransmitter receptors are located on the postsynaptic membrane of neurons. When a neurotransmitter binds to its specific receptor, it can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, thereby influencing the transmission of signals in the brain.
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released at an axon terminal that can either excite or inhibit other neurons. They help transmit signals across the synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and GABA.
after impulse conductionby postsynaptic neurons is initiated, neurotransmitters activity is rapidly terminated. Either one or both of two mechanisms cause this. Some neurotransmitters molecules difuseout of the synaptic cleft back into synaptic knobs
Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft, where they diffuse across to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This binding initiates a series of events that can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the transmission of signals in the nervous system.
Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of: 1. a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles, 2. a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters and, 3. a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings.

Neurotransmitters bind to specific proteins on the postsynaptic membrane called receptors. These receptors initiate a series of events that can either excite or inhibit the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.

Yes, that is correct. A postsynaptic potential is a localized change in the membrane potential of a postsynaptic neuron in response to neurotransmitters binding to receptors on its membrane. This results in a graded potential that can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron's firing.

binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic cell membrane, leading to changes in the cell's membrane potential. This can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, influencing the likelihood of an action potential being generated. Ultimately, the effect of the neurotransmitter can influence the communication between neurons in the nervous system.

Yes, neurotransmitters are sometimes referred to as "keys" because they play a critical role in transmitting signals between nerve cells, or neurons. These molecules bind to specific receptors on the surface of neurons, which triggers a response in the receiving cell. Just like a key fits into a lock to open a door, neurotransmitters bind to receptors to either excite or inhibit activity in the brain and body.
Enable neurons to excite or inhibit each other
Neurons communicate through electrochemical signals, known as action potentials, that allow them to relay information to other neurons. When a neuron stimulates another neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters that can excite or inhibit the activity of the receiving neuron, influencing its firing potential. This communication is key in coordinating various functions in the brain and nervous system.
