Answer:
If the postsynaptic cell is an interneuron that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter, the excitation of this cell will result in an action potential in its synaptic targets.
The answer is OPTION B (False)
Explanation:
Some terms explained:
GABA:
known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an amino acid inhibitory neurotransmitter that decreases the neuron's action potential. It is well known to inhibit the activity of signal-receiving neurons.
The neuron will not generate action potentials when the action potential drops below a certain level, thus not excite nearby neurons.
Action potential:
An action potential is self-propagating in nature, is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals. Action potential of a neuron has three main stages: hyperpolarization, repolarization, and depolarization. It occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell location rapidly rises and falls and it electrotonically depolarizes the membrane of regions in front of it.
