Answer:

Inhibit control over ions.

Explanation:

The immediate effect of the neurotoxin on the postsynaptic neuron is to inhibit control over ion concentrations across the cell membrane. The neurotoxin blocks nervous transmission at synapses which prevents the vesicles containing the neurotransmitter from fusing with the presynaptic membrane so the information does not transfer from one neuron to another and as a result the body is present at constant relaxation mode. The membrane potential of postsynaptic neuron will decrease due to neurotoxin.
