Explain how 1000 converging presynaptic neurons all with AP's do not cause an AP on the single postsynaptic neurons.

Solutions

Expert Solution

so in the given question 1000 of converging neurons APs do not cause AP in single post synaptic neuron because of summation response contains both inhibitory signal as well as excitatory signal so it would create net signal with very low AP which do not cause AP to single post synaptic neuron.

Explain in detail how information from one neuron gets passed on to another and do not leave out any stages in this process.
