Question

Consider the response of a postsynaptic neuron X to signals it receives. Choose all of the following that are consistent with an increase in neurotransmitter released from neuron X. 1) Busts of action potentials in neuron X have greater duration 2) the frequency of action potentials in a burst is increased 3) The amplitudes of individual action potentials are increased 4) Neuron X received more EPSPs 5) The durations of individual action potentials are increased 6) The duration of a burst of action potentials is increased in neuron X.

Explanation / Answer

1) The burst of action potentials in neuron X have greater duration

6) The duration of a burst of action potentials is increased in neuron X
