Which of these statements does NOT refer to neuronal integration
A)Inhibitory synapses cause postsynaptic hyperpolarization.
B)An inhibitory synapse may result in a postsynaptic sodium channel opening.
C)An inhibitory synapse may result in increased postsynaptic potassium efflux.
D)An excitatory synapse causes depolarization of postsynaptic membranes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inhibitory synapses cause postsynaptic hyperpolarization by opening chloride channels, which results in an influx of negatively charged chloride ions that make the membrane potential more negative. An inhibitory synapse does not result in a postsynaptic sodium channel opening.
