Question

Help ASAP!

1. If I were to lower the membrane potential of a given neuron from -65mV to -72mV, what type of postsynaptic potential would I be demonstrating?

2.

...................... proteins are important for the release of neurotransmitter through the process of exocytosis.

3.

A transient postsynaptic membrane depolarization caused by the presynaptic release of NT could be accomplished through use of which neurotransmitter?

GABA

Glycine

Glutamate

Nitric oxide

a.

GABA

b.

Glycine

c.

Glutamate

d.

Nitric oxide

Explanation / Answer

1. Ionic basis of post synaptic inhibition is the on, in which membrane potential would be around -65mV. There would be an outward direction of outward passage of current, chlorine ions, along with an influx of the chloride ions. There would be an increase in the outward synaptic current, which would be increasing as the membrane potential would be becoming more negative, with a decrease in potential, becoming hyperpolarised.
