Question

You are investigating action potentials by recording from two neurons in a prepared tissue slice of a rats hippicampus (a presynaptic and post synaptic ) describe and explain reason for your predictions of the neural activity in the post synaptic neuron under the following conditions : following temporal and spatial summations , the axon reaches a charge of -69mV You are investigating action potentials by recording from two neurons in a prepared tissue slice of a rats hippicampus (a presynaptic and post synaptic ) describe and explain reason for your predictions of the neural activity in the post synaptic neuron under the following conditions : following temporal and spatial summations , the axon reaches a charge of -69mV

Explanation / Answer

Since the depolarization at -69mV has reached the threshold potential of -55 mV the postsynaptic neuron will fire an action potential.
