______ synapses make it more likely that a neuron will send its message to other neurons, whereas ______ synapses make it less likely that a neuron will send its message.\n\ninhibitory; excitatory\ndepletion; augmentation\nexcitatory; inhibitory\naugmentation; depletion

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Excitatory synapses increase the likelihood of a neuron firing and sending its message by depolarizing the postsynaptic neuron. Inhibitory synapses decrease this likelihood by hyper - polarizing the postsynaptic neuron.

Answer:

C. Excitatory; inhibitory
