Neurotransmitters affect postsynaptic cells by
A) initiating signal transduction pathways in the cells.
B) causing molecular changes in the cells.
C) affecting ion-channel proteins.
D) altering the permeability of the cells.
E) All of these options are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these options are correct because neurotransmitters initiate signal transduction pathways, cause molecular changes such as gene expression, affect ion-channel proteins by either opening or closing them, and alter the permeability of cells to ions such as sodium, potassium, or chloride.
