question 10

Multiple Choice

Based on the figure, if Neuron B releases a neurotransmitter that causes a hyperpolarizing potential in Neuron A, would Neuron C be affected, and if so, how?

• A) Yes, the effect on A would lead to a decrease in neurotransmitter release, thus decreasing the output to C.
• B) Yes, the effect on A would lead to a increase in neurotransmitter release, thus increasing the output to C.
• C) No, because A doesn't directly interact with C.
• D) No, because hyperpolarizing potentials don't affect neurotransmitter release.
