Transcribed Image Text:### Description
#### Part A: Graph of End-Plate Potential and Current
- **End-Plate Potential (Red Line)**
- The graph shows a plot of end-plate potential over time, marked by four phases:
1. Initial phase
2. Rising phase
3. Peak phase
4. Decline phase
- The potential is measured in millivolts (mV) and the time duration is represented over 2 milliseconds (ms).
- **Current (Purple Line)**
- The current graph shows two main components: capacitive current (Ic) and leak current (Il).
- I_EPSP is also marked and reflects excitatory postsynaptic potential-related current.
#### Part B: Circuit Models at Different Times
- **Time 1: Steady State (I_EPSP = 0)**
- Represented by open channels in the synaptic membrane.
- The intracellular side is marked with E_EPSP and I_EPSP = 0.
- **Time 2: Dynamic (Onset of Synaptic Action)**
- I_EPSP is the sum of Ic and Il.
- Circuit shows movement of ions across channels and capacitors representing membrane capacitance (C_m).
- **Time 3: Steady State (Peak of Synaptic Action)**
- I_EPSP equals Il, Ic = 0.
- Voltage across the membrane (E_i).
- **Time 4: Dynamic (Decline of Synaptic Action)**
- I_EPSP consists of -Ic and Il.
- Similar circuit model as Time 2.
### Question
If the same I_EPSP was present in a cell that had twice as much membrane capacitance but was otherwise the same, what would NOT happen?
- The EPSP would get smaller in amplitude
- The capacitive current would be twice as big
- The EPSP would last longer
- The leak current would be smaller
