If a post synaptic cell is stimulated to threshold by temporal summation this implies that________.
A) the presynaptic neuron is sending frequent IPSP
B) the postsynaptic cell can be influenced by only one presynaptic cell
C) the postsynaptic cell is sending frequent action potential
D) a presynaptic neuron is sending frequent EPSP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temporal summation occurs when a postsynaptic neuron receives frequent EPSPs from a single presynaptic neuron, which can lead to the postsynaptic neuron reaching threshold and firing an action potential. Therefore, the correct choice is D, as this is the only option that refers to the presynaptic neuron sending frequent EPSPs.
