Which of the following will be caused in the postsynaptic membrane by the binding of a neurotransmitter to ligand-gated Na⁺ channels?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depolarization occurs because the binding of a neurotransmitter to ligand-gated sodium channels causes the channels to open, allowing Na+ ions to flow into the postsynaptic neuron, reducing the membrane potential difference and moving the membrane potential closer to the threshold for generating an action potential.
