acetylcholine
Which neurotransmitter is involved in drug addiction?
dopamine
What neurotransmitter makes you feel happy?
dopamine
What neurotransmitter does long-term potentiation depend on?
Glutamate
Which neurotransmitter helps control aggression and eating?
GABA
If a neurotransmitter depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane it is referred to as?
Excitatory
What causes the receiving cell the fire?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
What is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain?
Glutamate
Is dopamine a neurotransmitter?
Yes, Dopamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It is important in motivation and pleasure perception in humans.
What determines whether the response of a receiving neuron is excitatory or inhibitory?
The type of neurotransmitter.
What is an excitatory neurotransmitter secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscles?
acetylcholine
What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?
The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.
What is neurotransmitter tone?
Tone denotes the concentration of neurotransmitter within a given region of the nervous system. A lot of glutamate indicates a high excitatory, glutamatergic tone.
Neurotransmitters find their way to and subsequently trigger firing of that neuron?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
What determines whether a neurotransmitter will have an inhibitory excitatory effect?
How a neurotransmitter interacts with the receptors determines its effects. They activate receptors to perform specific functions in the body.the type of receptor
What are epsp?
EPSP is an abbreviation for excitatory postsynaptic potential. This is a graded depolarization of a postynaptic membrane responding to neurotransmitter stimulation.
Why can some neurotransmitters be both excitatory and inhibitory?
Excitatory neurotransmitter usually is acetylcholine. To get inhibitory responses in a nerve cell, the arrangement of receptors is different. The study of nervous system in detail will provide you exact answer to your question.
