Assume That a Single IPSP Has a Negative Magnitude of -

question 27

Multiple Choice

Assume that a single IPSP has a negative magnitude of - 0.5 mV at the axon hillock, and that a single EPSP has a positive magnitude of + 0.5 mV. For a neuron with initial membrane potential is -70 mV, the net effect of the simultaneous arrival of 6 IPSPs and 2 EPSPs would be to move the membrane potential to

• A)-72 mV.
• B)-71 mV.
• C)-70 mV.
• D)-69 mV.
• E)-68 mV.
