Inhibitory Neurotransmission
Inhibitory neurotransmission refers to the process by which neurotransmitters released by a presynaptic neuron bind to receptors on a postsynaptic neuron, leading to a decrease in the likelihood of an action potential being generated in the postsynaptic neuron. This results in the inhibition of neuronal activity, which plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions in the nervous system.
