Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials

Item #3 of 10

Neurotransmitters create postsynaptic potentials __________________.

along the terminal buttons;

that are proportional to the amount released;

that are greater than the sum of presynaptic potentials;

at the axon hillock;

none of the alternatives is correct;
