Potential Inhibitory Neurotransmitters Hyperpolarise Postsynaptic Neurone Make Difference

Inhibitory neurotransmitters hyperpolarize the postsynaptic neuron, preventing it from firing an action potential.

Inhibitory neurotransmitters hyperpolarize the postsynaptic neuron, making it less likely to fire an action potential.
