A series of local potentials causes the membrane potential to move to -80 mV.Predict the result.
A) threshold is reached

E) the neuron releases neurotransmitter in response

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A local potential that causes the membrane potential to move towards -80mV leads to a more negative membrane potential, which is hyperpolarization. It means that the neuron is less likely to generate an action potential.
