What determines the rate at which action potentials are generated at the axon hillock?
 | |
 |
the rate at which postsynaptic potentials are generated along the dendrites and cell body of a neuron; |
 |
the occurrence of excitatory postsynaptic potentials; |
 |
the occurrence of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials; |
 |
the integration of inhibitory and excitatory postsynaptic potentials at any given moment; |
 |
all of the alternatives are correct; |
CORRECT - Yes, the rate of action potential generation is determined by the rate and occurrence of both EPSPs and IPSPs and their integration at any given point in time.
