Excitation and Inhibition occur in the neurons. Excitation is when a neuron becomes depolarized and fires an action potential. Inhibition is when a neuron becomes hyperpolarized preventing it from firing an action potential.

What did Pavlov define as the pattern of excitation and inhibition that characterizes the brain at any given moment?
Cortical Mosaic
How is reuptake essential to neurotransmission?
Reuptake is essential because provide right amount of excitation and inhibition occurs. Therefore reuptake is essential to healthy functioning of our brain and nervous system.
Does the epilepsy have anything to do with nerve cell?
yes, epilepsy cause by the disruption in the conductance of the impulses by the nerve cells. Imbalance between the inhibition and the excitation of the nerve impulse in the brain cause epilepsy.
Why is inhibition so important at the level of a single neuron?
Inhibition is important at the level of a single neuron because it helps regulate and control the neuron's firing activity. Inhibition can prevent excessive firing and prevent neurons from becoming overly activated. It also helps shape the overall activity and information processing of neural networks.
What is the action of dopamine on the postsynaptic membrane?
All neurotransmitters have an effect on the post synaptic membrane of either inhibition or excitation. Dopamine is an Excitatory NT so if a Excitatory Neuron meets with another Excitatory Neuron it creates Excitation. However if it meets with an Inhibitory Neuron Dopamine and the other Excitatory NT's wll only create Inhibition. Only GABA and Glycine are considered Inhhibitory NTransmitters.

What is the difference between generator over excitation versus under excitation when attached to the grid?
Over Excitation is a condition when the Excitation System is providing too much field current and as a result, the rotor of the generator will over heat. The Excitation System is equipped with an Over Excitation Limiter. This limiter acts to reduce the Excitation Current if this condition exists Underexcitation is a condition when the generator is not getting enough Excitation Current. If the generator does not get enough Excitation Current, it can be un-synchronized with the grid. We call this slipping a pole. If this occurs, the generator can be severely damaged.
