Cocaine Is a Stimulant Drug That Acts by Blocking the Reuptake

Multiple Choice

A) canceling out excitatory potentials generated by other neurons.
B) producing excitatory postsynaptic potentials.
C) producing inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.
D) increasing the strength of the action potential in the presynaptic neuron.
