Few pianists can play quickly enough to play the Minute Waltz in a minute. The finger movements that are required are likely to involve which type of neurotransmitter effects?

Question

Ionotropic effects involve the direct opening of ion channels in the postsynaptic neuron, leading to a rapid, short-lived response. The finger movements required for fast piano playing require quick and precise communication between the neurons and muscles involved in controlling finger movements, which suggests the involvement of ionotropic neurotransmitter effects.
