Question: The amount of neurotransmitter released from presynaptic cell is a function of:
Options:
A) The voltage of the individual action potential in the presynaptic neuron.
B) The frequency of arriving action potentials is the presynaptic neuron.

D) The receptors in the postsynaptic cell.
Show Answer
