You have bunch of neurons in alive in a dish. You are recording from the axon hillock of one neuron while you stimulate an action potential in another neuron that synapses on the neuron you are recording from. One action potential from your presynaptic neuron causes +5 mV depolarization in the postsynaptic neuron’s axon hillock. Threshold for this neuron requires +10 mV. How can you most assuredly achieve threshold for this post-synaptic neuron? Group of answer choices Firing the presynaptic neuron multiple times in close succession Firing the presynaptic neuron plus another random presynaptic neuron that you find in the dish You can’t a +5mV EPSP will never be able to reach a 10mV threshold Firing the presynaptic neuron multiple times but keep the firing events spaced out really far in time.
