True/False

The chi-squared goodness-of-fit test is usually used as a test of multinomial parameters, but it can also be used to determine whether data were drawn from any distribution.

Definitions:

EPSPs

Excitatory Post-Synaptic Potentials, which are temporary depolarizations of postsynaptic cells that make it more likely for a neuron to fire an action potential.

IPSPs

Inhibitory post-synaptic potentials, which decrease the likelihood of a post-synaptic neuron firing an action potential.

Action Potential

A rapid change in electrical potential across the membrane of a nerve cell as a nerve impulse is transmitted.

Schwann Cell

A type of glial cell in the peripheral nervous system that wraps around neurons, forming a myelin sheath to facilitate electrical conduction.
