You are recording the electrical activity of a cell body with a resting membrane potential of -70 mV. Three different stimuli are detected by 3 different dendrites at the same time, each changes the voltage of the dendrite to -65 mV. However, the voltage change detected in the cell body of that neuron, is -55 mV. What happened? temporal summation of IPSPS O spatial summation of IPSPS O temporal summation of EPSPS O spatial summation of EPSPS
