4) Demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis disrupt normal neural
communication by
a. destroying receptors on postsynaptic cells so that neurotransmitters cannot bind
normally.
b. creating lesions in the bloodbrain barrier that allow toxic substances to enter the brain
from the bloodstream.

resting potential of neurons.
