... The synapses are called excitatory, because their activity promotes impulses in the postsynaptic cell membrane. In some synapses the neurotransmitter-receptor interaction has an opposite effect, promoting membrane hyperpolarization with no transmission of the nerve impulse. These are called inhibi ...
