Summary Introduction

To determine:

Refer to checkpoint question 25, determine whether the action potential will be generated or not if a second, identical EPSP occurs immediately after the first.

Introduction:

EPSP can be abbreviated as excitatory postsynaptic potential. It is the graded potential that develops in the membrane of a postsynaptic cell due to binding of neurotransmitters to its receptors on the membrane.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
If extracellular [Na1] is elevated, how would the resting potential and action potential of a neuron change?
If postsynaptic membrane permeability is increased, is theneuron more easily stimulated or less excitable?
If all the Ca2+ in the fluid surrounding a neuron were removed, how would this affect the transmission of information within and between neurons?
