Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionotropic receptors are a type of receptor that are directly linked to ligand-activated ion channels, meaning that they open or close in response to the binding of a specific neurotransmitter. This causes a rapid change in the flow of ions across the cell membrane, leading to changes in neuronal activity.
