Refer to figure 14.12. In the text Imagine if the three entorhinal neurons that fire action potentials that trigger action potentials in the CA3 neurons numbered 1 and 3 instead of 2, 4, and 5 as depicted in the figure. When a subsequent action potential is only triggered in CA neuron 1, what would be the resulting activation of additional CA3 neurons?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the scenario described, the entorhinal neurons that initially trigger action potentials in CA3 neurons 1 and 3 would strengthen the synapses between these two neurons. Therefore, if a subsequent action potential is triggered in neuron 1, it would activate neuron 3 through these previously strengthened synapses.
