In neurotransmitter co-release in the _______, postsynaptic cells may receive both excitatory and inhibitory inputs from the same nerve terminals thereby allowing for a _______ postsynaptic response than could be achieved using a single neurotransmitter.
A) raphe nuclei; stronger
B) lateral habenula; more fine-tuned
C) globus pallidus; more predictable
D) nucleus accumbens; more rapid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lateral habenula is known for its co-release of both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, allowing for a more fine-tuned postsynaptic response. The other options either do not co-release neurotransmitters in this manner or do not have a known effect on the postsynaptic response.

In Neurotransmitter Co-Release in the _______, Postsynaptic Cells May Receive
