If a post synaptic neuron is stimulated to threshold by spatial summation this implies that________.
A) the post synaptic cell is slow to repolarize
B) the postsynaptic cells has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons
C) the post synaptic cell has a lower than normal threshold
D) the post synaptic cell has many voltage gated ion channels

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spatial summation occurs when the post synaptic neuron receives signals from multiple presynaptic neurons at different locations on its dendrites or cell body. This suggests that the post synaptic cell has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons, leading to spatial summation and the stimulation of the neuron to threshold. Options A, C, and D do not accurately reflect the process of spatial summation.
