Question

The Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP) refers to a small depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane potential that occurs when an excitatory neurotransmitter binds to its receptor on the postsynaptic neuron. What happens when the EPSP is strong enough to reach the threshold?

Accepted Answer

An action potential will be generated

Answer

The action potential will be lost

Answer

The production of neurotransmitters will be blocked

Answer

The transfer of information between the neurons is hindered
