A increasing the ability of the presynaptic neuron to produce neurotransmitter B increasing the ability of the presynaptic neuron to receive neurotransmitter C decreasing the ability of the presynaptic neuron to produce neurotransmitter D altering the mechanisms for clearing neurotransmitter from the synapse
