Not necessarily.
I self-assess as 'fairly smart', but my neurological understanding is pretty poor, and inhibitory neuron may mean a neuron that inhibits other neurons, or a neuron that inhibits something else entirely. If that's to 'slow down' the pace of neuron activity or to actually suppress it (ie. inhibit it) isn't 100% clear from the name, either.
