excitation
|
brings postsynaptic membranes closer to an action potential by opening non-specific cation channels to cause excitatory postsynaptic potentials via depolarization
|
|
inhibition
|
pushes postsynaptic membranes farther fr an action potential by increasing K+ & Cl- permeability to cause hyperpolarization in inhibitory postsynaptic potentials

bilateral symmetry; ganglia
|
