Question 49

(Multiple Choice)

Assume that a single IPSP has a negative magnitude of -0.5 mV at the axon hillock and that a single EPSP has a positive magnitude of +0.5 mV.For a neuron with an initial membrane potential of -70 mV,the net effect of the simultaneous arrival of six IPSPs and two EPSPs would be to move the membrane potential to


A)-72 mV.
B)-71 mV.
C)-70 mV.
D)-69 mV.
E)-68 mV.
