What happens if twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) arrive in close proximity at a postsynaptic neuron? A. A stronger action potential results. B. A weaker action potential results. C. No action potential results. D. Many action potentials result.

Respuesta :

If twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) arrive in close proximity at a postsynaptic neuron then no action potentials are generated.

As the inhibitory post synaptic potentials are twice as the excitatory postsynaptic potentials no action potential is generated even at close proximity due to greater effect of inhibitory potentials on the neuron.

The effects of excitatory potentials is cut off due to the prevailing effects of inhibitory potentials and thus no depolarization is produced. Neuroinhibitors like GABA and Dopamine prevent the production of any action potentials and maintain the membrane in resting phase.
