Tetrodotoxin is a toxin that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels. What effect does this substance have on the function of neurons?
◦ The toxin does not interfere with neuron function because the voltage-regulated sodium channels would still function.
◦ Neurons depolarize more rapidly.
◦ Action potentials lack a repolarization phase.
◦ The neuron is not able to transmit action potentials.
◦ The absolute refractory period is shorter than normal.
