Excitatory Neurotransmitters

Cards (3)

  • ON switches / ACTIVATES​
  • e.g.: dopamine or noradrenaline​
  • When an excitatory NT binds with a postsynaptic receptor, this results in Excitatory Post-Synaptic Potential (EPSP)  This means that the postsynaptic neuron is MORE likely to fire, or fire at a HIGHER rate​
