Answer:
Neurotransmitter binding increases membrane permeability and form a new action potential.
Step-by-step explanation:
Neurotransmitters are specific lipid-based compounds that are used in the nervous system in chemical signal transduction. They exhibit receptor-specific functions in triggering many regions and physiological responses of the brain and spinal cord or the central nervous system (CNS).
When released into the space between the synapses called the synaptic cleft, they trigger a range of responses. On the postsynaptic cells they briefly bind to chemical receptors. This results in changes to the membrane which increases the cells' permeability to ions like Na+; a new action potential is created.
