Question 36 GABA is an example of an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Drugs that increase the level of GABA are used to treat diseases such as epilepsy where the signal transmission needs to be impaired. The effect of the inhibitory neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic membrane is to: maintain the resting potential depolarize the postsynaptic membrane decrease the threshold level hyperpolarize the postsynaptic membrane Question 37 Anandamide is a naturally occurring molecule that blocks the release of dopamine. THC, the active component in marijuana, is similar in shape to anandamide and binds to the same receptors. Which of the following is the effect of THC on the synaptic transmission in our central
