EPSPs on the distant dendrite's tree:
A)have maximum influence on an action potential.
B)are easier to summate both spatially and temporally than EPSPs elsewhere.
C)are less likely to have a dynamic effect than those close to the axon hillock.
D)do not modulate action potentials.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EPSPs on distant dendrites have less influence on the generation of an action potential because they are further from the axon hillock, where action potentials are initiated.
