Neurons that release neurotransmitters that cause IPSPs
A) Are called inhibitory neurons
B) Cause hyperpolarization
C) Decrease the likelihood of producing action potentials
D) All of the choices are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons that release neurotransmitters causing IPSPs (inhibitory postsynaptic potentials) are inhibitory neurons, which lead to hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane, thereby decreasing the likelihood of action potential generation.
