AND E
 Lesions  are more permanent than reversible inactivation, but the activity of the neurons is still removed. Kir is an inwardly rectifying potassium channel that functionally inhibits neurons. Halorhodopsin is a chloride pump that inhibits neurons. ChR2 activates the neurons as it is a mixed cation channel. ATP can activate neurons that express ATP-gated channels.
