    Cards (4)

    • what do excitatory neurotransmitters do?
      make it more likely to create action potentials in the postsynaptic neurons
    • why do excitatory neurotransmitters make action potentials more likely?
      they increase the postsynaptic neurons positive charge
    • what do inhibitory neurotransmitters do?
      make it less likely that a new action potential will be created in the postsynaptic neuron
    • why do inhibitory neurotransmitters make new action potentials less likely?
      they increase the postsynaptic neurons negative charge
