Temporal and Spatial Summation

Item #4 of 10

Disinhibition of a neuron's function involves the _________________.

combination of double excitatory postsynaptic potentials on the neuron;

integration of the effects of an inhibitory postsynaptic potential on a neuron with an inhibitory function;

hyperpolarization of a neuron with inhibitory function;

increase in the behavior normally inhibited by the inhibitory neuron;

alternatives b, c, and d are all correct;

CORRECT - Yes, disinhibition involves the integration of IPSPs on a neuron with inhibitory function via hyperpolarization, resulting in the increase in behavior or process normally inhibited by the neuron.
