question 24

Multiple Choice

How do temporal and spatial summation improve the processing power of the brain?

• A)Temporal summation allows circadian rhythms to regulate neuronal activity.Spatial summation allows latitude to regulate neuronal activity.
• B)Temporal summation allows a neuron to fire prolonged action potentials,and spatial summation allows a neuron to synapse onto new targets.
• C)Temporal and spatial summation both make the neuron more likely to fire action potentials.
• D)Temporal summation allows a neuron to recognize a persistent signal from a single presynaptic cell,and spatial summation allows a neuron to recognize a broad signal from multiple presynaptic cells.
