Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A postsynaptic neuron can experience excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), and can generate a nerve impulse if the net effect of EPSPs and IPSPs reaches the threshold. Therefore, it can respond in all the ways listed.
