Q

Binding of the neurotransmitter ligand directly opens the channel

A

Ligand-gated Channels or Ionotropic Receptors

74
Q

These channels are insensitive or only weakly sensitive to membrane potential.

A

Ligand-gated Channels or Ionotropic Receptors

75
Q

Activation of these channels typically results in a brief (a few milliseconds to tens of milliseconds) opening of the channel.

A

Ligand-gated Channels or Ionotropic Receptors

76
Q

These channels are responsible for fast synaptic transmission typical of hierarchical pathways in the CNS.

A

Ligand-gated Channels or Ionotropic Receptors

77
Q
