About neuronal excitability, what are the correct statements?    Neurons communicate via action potential and synapses  The action potential is characterized by the rapid inversion of the membrane potential from negative to positive values  Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters that are secreted in a calcium-dependent process  Ligand-gated neurotransmitter receptors are membrane protein ion channels  Voltage-gated potassium channels are responsible for the depolarization phase of the action potential
