Published	09/07/2023	GABA mediates {{c1::excitatory}} post-synaptic potentials in immature neurons, but mediates {{c1::inhibitory}} post-synaptic potentials in mature neur…
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: one nurotransmitter can give rise to both EPSPs and IPSPs
Published	09/07/2023	When ions move through a channel they are trying to move the membrane potentional closer to their {{c3::equilibrium potential/reversal potential (Ners…
Published	09/07/2023	In the real world, one AP only leads to a {{c1::small (a few mV)}} change in the post-synaptic Vm
Published	09/07/2023	Erev is dependant on {{c1::ion concentration}}, as demonstrated in the Nerst Equation Ex = 58/z * log [X]o/[X]i
Published	09/07/2023	1 EPSP creates a {{c1::subthreshold}} depolarization on the post-synaptic neuron, but multiple EPSPs can {{c2::sum}} to help a neuron reach {{c2::thre…
Published	09/07/2023	Neurons are innervated by 1000s of synapses, thus postsynaptic potentials from many synapses must sumate in {{c1::space (e.g., on the same dendrite)}…
Published	09/07/2023	whether the integrated sum of synaptic input causes a postsynaptic neurons to fire an action potential at any moment in time depends upon {{c1::…
Published	09/07/2023	most inhibitory inputs synapse on {{c1::dendritic shafts}} and {{c1::cell bodies/somata}}
Published	09/07/2023	most excitatory inputs synapse on {{c1::dendritic spines}}
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: EPSPs in the mature CNS are typically associated with GABAergic neurotransmission
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: Multiple EPSPs occurring very close together in time can summate and help bring a neuron to firing threshold.
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: The EPSPs in the central nervous system are much larger and much more likely to induce a postsynaptic action potential, as compared to…
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: By definition, the reversal potential of an EPSP is at or below the resting membrane potential.
Published	09/07/2023	True or False: Multiple EPSPs arriving together at different locations on the dendritic tree will cancel each other out and the neuron will remain at…
Published	09/07/2023	IPSP stands for
Published	09/07/2023	EPSPs stands for
Published	09/07/2023	a change in {{c1::concentration gradient(s)}} could shift Erev to one side of threshold or the other
