25
Q

what receptors are described?

  • ligand gated ion channels that usually open in response to binding of neurotransmitter
  • usually located along denderites or cell bodies and receive incoming information from other neurons
A

ionotropic receptors

26
Q

what channels open in response to binding of a neurotransmitter in ionotropic receptors

A

Ligand gated ion channels

27
Q

29
Q

What is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS

A
