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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binding of a neurotransmitter to ligand-gated Na+ channels will result in the opening of the channels, allowing Na+ ions to flow into the postsynaptic neuron. This will cause depolarization of the membrane, making it more likely for an action potential to be generated.
