_____ is the opposite of habituation and is one of the mechanisms involved in synaptic plasticity and learning

Inhibition of _____ proteins inhibits docking of neurotransmitter vesicles and ultimately neurotransmitter release

Neurotransmitter receptors that act through _____ are called metabotropic receptors.

Presynaptic facilitation is due to prolonged opening of _____ channels.

GABA-_____ receptors appear to mediate presynaptic inhibition via a G-protein that produces an increase in K+ conductance.

Neuromodulators typically have actions that are _____ than neurotransmitters.

Production of EPSPs, occurs after a brief tetanizing train of stimuli in the presynaptic neuron, is known as _____, and is one of the mechanisms involved in synaptic plasticity and learning

Clonus is due to sustained hyperactivity of _____ motor neurons.

_____ are sudden, jerky eye movements that occur as the gaze shifts from one object to another, performed to bring image of an object quickly on the fovea.
