| Question | Answer |
| Name 4 Transmitters of Excitatory Synapses. | 1. Acetylcholine; 2. Norepinepherine; 3. Serotonin; 4. Glutamate |
| What is the function of Excitatory Synapses? | 1. promote Depolarization via INCREASED Na+ or DECREASED K+ permeability; 2. create EPSP's |
| What are EPSP's? | Voltage produced POSTsynaptically to DEPOLARIZE Resting Potential |
| Name 4 Transmitters of Inhibitory Synapses. | 1. GABA; 2. Dopamine; 3. Serotonin; 4. Glycine |
| What is the function of Inhibitory Synapses? | 1. promote Hyperpolarization via INCREASED Cl- or INCREASED K+ permeability; 2. create IPSP's |
| What are IPSP's? | Voltage produced POSTsynaptically to HYPERPOLARIZE Resting Potential |
| How do Stimulants work? | Stimulates Excitatory -or- Inhibits Inhibitory Synapses |
| How do Depressants work? | Inhibits Excitatory -or- Stimulates Inhibitory Synapses |
