Discuss about neuronal integration

Reference no: EM133414416

Assignment:

Scenario: Neurons decide whether or not if they can fire by integrating all the graded potentials they receive via the process of summation. Consider the following scenario about neuronal integration in an alien discovered in Death Valley:

The dendrites of Alien Neuron X receives inputs from Alien Neurons A, B and C.
Neurons A & B release excitatory neurotransmitters and Neuron C release inhibitory neurotransmitters.
The threshold potential for Alien Neuron 1 to fire is +10 mV and resting potential is 0 mV.
