Synaptic divergence can be achieved by:
A)multiple axons triggering a synaptic potential on one postsynaptic dendrite
B)an excitatory synaptic potential canceling out an inhibitory potential
C)a single axon triggering multiple postsynaptic potentials simultaneously in various dendritic terminals
D)any mechanism that reduces the activity of a single axon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic divergence serves to amplify the activity of a single axon,and it can be achieved by an action potential triggering multiple excitatory postsynaptic potentials simultaneously,or through branching collaterals of axons making numerous synapses with other neurons.
