Indicate whether an excitatory or inhibitory synapse is being described by filling in the blank using the following answer code: -increased P_Cl- of the subsynaptic membrane A)associated with an excitatory synapse B)associated with an inhibitory synapse

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased P_Cl- (permeability to chloride ions) typically leads to hyperpolarization of the subsynaptic membrane, making it less likely to fire an action potential, which is characteristic of an inhibitory synapse.
