Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, meaning that it increases the likelihood that a neuron will fire an action potential. GABA, on the other hand, is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, meaning that it decreases the likelihood that a neuron will fire an action potential. Therefore, choice A (glutamate; GABA) is the correct choice.
