Title: If twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsy Post by: jojo18 on Apr 27, 2012 If twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) arrive at a postsynaptic neuron in close proximity, is the integration of signals by the postsynaptic neuron likely to produce an action potential?

Title: Re: If twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsy Post by: lewis on Apr 27, 2012 Yes, because there are twice as many EPSPs as ISPS.
Title: Re: If twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsy Post by: saul on Apr 27, 2012 It is not possible to answer the question because the amplitude of EPSPs and IPSPs reaching the axon hillock depends on the location of the synapses on the cell body.
