Inhibitory Neurotransmitters

Cards (3)

  • OFF switches / SLOW / CALM / INHIBIT​
  • e.g.: GABA​
  • When an inhibitory NT binds with a postsynaptic receptor, this results in Inhibitory Post-Synaptic Potential (IPSP)  This means that the postsynaptic neuron is LESS likely to fire, or fire at a LOWER rate​
