During the integration phase of neural communication,the presence of inhibitory signals will ________ firing an action potential.
A) increase the likelihood
B) decrease the likelihood
C) not affect the
D) block the neuron from
Inhibitory Signals
neural or chemical messages that decrease the likelihood of a neuron firing, thus reducing or preventing an action or response.
Integration Phase
The integration phase is a stage in various processes (psychological therapy, project development) where different elements or experiences are combined and fully assimilated.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Inhibitory signals decrease the likelihood of a neuron firing an action potential by making the neuron's internal environment more negative, moving it further away from the threshold needed to trigger an action potential.
