The neurotransmitter enters the post-synaptic cell to cause depolarization.

• True
• False

The neurotransmitter cause depolarization by opening up Na+ channels in the post-synaptic membrane.

• True
• False

The neurotransmitter most associated with rewards and motivation is:

• Dopamine
• Serotonin
• GABA
• Adrenaline

The depolarization phase of an action potential is caused by:

• Na+ rushing into the axon
• K+ rushing out of the axon
• Ca++ rushing into the axon
• Activation of Na/K pumps
