Inhibition

• Step 1-2 of inhibition?


  • Presynaptic neurone releases a NT which binds to CHLORIDE ION PUMPS on postsynaptic neurone
  • Chloride ions move into postsynaptic neurone
• Step 3-4 of inhibition?

  • Potassium ion channels open
  • Potassium ion moves out of the neurone
• Steps 5-6 of inhibition?

  • Axon becomes hyperpolarized
  • Threshold not met by synapse action
