What statement about synapse activity is false? A.The input of sodium ions by AMPA receptors is triggered by glutamate binding to the same receptors. B.Calcium entering the dendritic spine during synaptic transmission activates proteins that can potentiate synapse. C.Depolarization of the membrane caused by the arrival of calcium ions makes it possible to eject sodium blocking NMDA receptors. D.Glutamate can be released by the pre-synaptic button following the arrival of an action potential via the axon.
