Neurotransmitters that bind ionotropic receptors control: A) the activation of G ^-proteins inside the postsynaptic neuron. B) some metabolic process inside the postsynaptic neuron. C) the formation of a second messenger inside the postsynaptic neuron. D) the movement of ions into or out of the postsynaptic neuron.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
