dr. pohler is a neurobiologist studying ways to enhance the perception of sound in people with hearing difficulties. he discovers a natural neurotransmitter that increases the chance a neuron will fire an action potential, increasing sensitivity to sound. what is the effect of this neurotransmitter on the receiving neuron?

Excitatory

Explanation:

The neurotransmitter will cause an excitatory effect on the neuron. When the neoronium receives this effect it is stimulated to show a response to the stimulus, which in this case will increase the sensitivity to sound.

When the neuron is stimulated, it undergoes some changes. Initially, it is important to note that stimuli of various natures can excite neurons, etc. In addition, the stimulus must have a certain minimum intensity, called the excitation threshold, for the neuron to effectively respond to it. Otherwise, no changes will be triggered.
