Tetrodotoxin (TTX or blowfish toxin) is a neurotoxin that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels on axons. What effect does this neurotoxin have on a neuron?
1) Increases the firing rate of the neuron
2) Decreases the firing rate of the neuron
3) Causes the neuron to become hyperpolarized
4) Causes the neuron to become depolarized
