Description
A.
The result will be an increase in available Serotonin in the synaptic cleft
causing the post synaptic cell to increase the number of Serotonin
receptors.
B.
The result will be an increase in the available Serotonin in the synaptic
cleft causing the post synaptic neuron to reduce the number of Serotonin
receptors.
C.
The result will be an increase in Serotonin in the synaptic cleft resulting in
an increase in reuptake pumps on the presynaptic neuron.
D.
The result will be an increase in Serotonin in the synaptic cleft resulting in
a decrease in reuptake pumps on the pre-synaptic neuron.
Response
Feedback:
A, C, and D are misrepresentations of what occurs when you increase
Serotonin in the synaptic cleft. There is no effect on the pre-synaptic
neuron, and the increases in Serotonin result in a reduction of receptor
concentration on the post-synaptic neuron.
