Neurotransmitters
A)deliver nerve impulse information across the synapse.
B)allow for the detection of brain activity, through measures such as EEG.
C)transmit genetic information from parents to offspring.
D)block the flow of information and contribute to behavioural problems.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are released from the terminal buttons of one neuron into the synaptic gap between two neurons. They are responsible for transmitting information across the synapse, allowing for communication between neurons and the transmission of nerve impulses.

B, C, and D are incorrect because neurotransmitters do not allow for the detection of brain activity through EEG (B), do not transmit genetic information (C), and do not block the flow of information (D) - in fact, they facilitate the flow of information.
