question 56

Multiple Choice

For the following questions, assume a hypothetical postsynaptic neuron has three presynaptic inputs: neurons X, Y, and Z. Also, assume neuron Z is excitatory. If neurons Y and Z receive simultaneous stimulation, what change would you expect in the postsynaptic neuron?

• A) a single EPSP
• B) a single IPSP
• C) temporal summation of EPSPs
• D) spatial summation of EPSPs
• E) an IPSP and EPSP would cancel each other out, so there would be essentially no change in potential in the postsynaptic neuron
