A neurоn receives bоth excitаtоry аnd inhibitory inputs simultаneously. Excitatory synapses open Na⁺ channels, while inhibitory synapses open Cl⁻ channels. The neuron integrates these signals at the axon hillock, where the final decision to generate an action potential is made. If inhibitory input increases while excitatory input remains constant, what is the MOST likely outcome?
