Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An agonist is a drug that activates a neurotransmitter receptor, causing a response similar to the neurotransmitter itself. Antagonists block or inhibit the activity of neurotransmitter receptors, partial agonists have a weaker efficacy than a full agonist, and positive modulators enhance the activity of neurotransmitter receptors without directly activating them.
