Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Autoreceptors are sensitive to the transmitter released by a particular neuron. Activation of the autoreceptor produces negative feedbackeither reduced cell firing or reduced
synthesis/release of the transmitter. The net effect is to modulate the amount of transmitter in the
synapse (and at the postsynaptic receptors).
