When synaptic transmitters, such as adrenaline, nor-adrenaline, acethylcholine, are released, the post-synaptic membrane depolarizes and the threshold is lowered (left half of figure). Such synaptic transmission is excitatory. When synaptic transmitters, such as GABA is released, the post-synaptic membrane hyperpolarizes, and the threshold is hightened (right half of figure). Such synaptic transmission is inhibitory.
