• B) The release of neurotransmitter by neuron Y will be inhibited.
• C) The synapse between neurons Y and Z will be changed from an excitatory synapse to an inhibitory one.
• D) Neurons Y and Z will both be more likely to reach threshold and fire an action potential.
• E) Neurons Y and Z will both be less likely to reach threshold and fire an action potential.
