Briefly answer the following questions and submit your response. What is a neurotransmitter? How are neurotransmitters
secreted into the synaptic cleft? How does a neurotransmitter cause an action potential in a receiving neuron? How is the signal
between neurons stopped? Briefly describe the Signal Transduction Cascade— what is the function of this process and how does it
work? What are the differences between voltage-gated and ligand-ion channels? What functions do they have in the brain? What is a
G-protein-linked receptor? What are agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, and inverse agonists and how do they affect signal
transduction? Your assignment should be in APA format with evidence-based references to support your statements.
