Temporal and Spatial Summation

Item #6 of 10

What will likely result from the occurrence of one EPSP and two IPSPs close to the axon hillock?

hyperpolarization of the of the hillock;

the suppression of action potential initiation;

the summation of potentials;

alternatives a, b, and c are all correct;

none of the alternatives is correct;

CORRECT - Yes, the occurrence of one EPSP and two IPSPs will likely result in the summation with hyperpolarization at the hillock and the suppression of action potential initiation.
