Neuron X makes inhibitory axon-axon synaptic contact with neuron Y at the synapse of Y and neuron Z.Stimulation of action potentials in X
A)Will inhibit propagation of action potentials in Y
B)Inhibit release of neurotransmitter by Y
C)Make the Y-Z synapse more effective (i.e., increase the size of the postsynaptic potential in Z)
D)Both will inhibit propagation of action potentials in Y and inhibit release of neurotransmitter by Y are correct
E)None of the choices are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuron X's inhibitory action will reduce the release of neurotransmitter by neuron Y, affecting the synapse between Y and Z.
