GABA_B receptors

Question

GABA_B receptors

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GABAA receptors, when stimulated, cause the opening of chloride channels, leading to an influx of chloride ions into the neuron. This hyperpolarizes the neuron, making it less likely to fire an action potential. Potassium channels are involved in various signaling pathways, but the specific action of causing potassium channel opening when stimulated is more closely associated with other types of receptors or channels, not directly with GABAA receptors. The question seems to contain a typographical error in the receptor names, but based on the context, it's clear that the intended focus is on GABAA receptor functionality, which is primarily linked to chloride ion channels and inhibitory neurotransmission, not potassium channels. However, the correct interpretation hinges on understanding that GABAA receptors are indeed linked to chloride channels, and any mention of potassium channels might be a misdirection or error in the context of this specific question.
