Summary Introduction
To determine:
An example of presynaptic inhibition and the meaning of presynaptic facilitation.
Introduction:
Synapse is known as the neuronal junction that is present between the two neurons, or between a neuron and gland or muscle cell. It consists of a presynaptic terminal, synaptic cleft, and postsynaptic membrane.

- Assume presynaptic excitatory neuron A terminates on a postsynaptic cell near the axon hillock and presynaptic excitatory neuron B terminates on the same postsynaptic cell on a dendrite located on the side of the cell body opposite the axon hillock. Explain why rapid firing of presynaptic neuron A could bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold through temporal summation, thus initiating an action potential, whereas firing of presynaptic neuron B at the same frequency and the same magnitude of EPSPs may not bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold.arrow_forwardDiscuss Presynaptic factors?arrow_forwardDefine the term alpha–gamma coactivation?
