Assume That Excessive Consumption of Ethanol Increases the Influx of Negative

question 31

Multiple Choice

Assume that excessive consumption of ethanol increases the influx of negative chloride ions into "commonsense" neurons whose action potentials are needed for you to act appropriately and not harm yourself or others.Thus,any resulting poor decisions associated with ethanol ingestion are likely due to

• A)increased membrane depolarization of "commonsense" neurons.
• B)increased membrane hyperpolarization of "commonsense" neurons.
• C)more action potentials in your "commonsense" neurons.
• D)more EPSPs in your "commonsense" neurons.
• E)fewer IPSPs in your "commonsense" neurons.
