Question point
A patient with a diagnosis of depression has been prescribed a
medication that ultimately increases the levels of the neurotransmitter
serotonin between neurons. Which of the following processes will
accompany the actions of the neurotransmitter in her chemical synapses?
Question options:
More serotonin molecules will cross the synaptic cleft
and bond with postsynaptic receptors.
The neurotransmitter will cross gap junctions more
readily.
Communication between a neuron and the single
neuron it is connected with will be facilitated.
Two-way communication between neurons is
permitted, in contrast to the one-way communication in
electrical synapses.
