1) |
Sub-threshold
stimuli result in small local
|
|
|
|
potentials
(graded potentials) which must add
|
|
|
|
together
(summation) to produce an action
|
|
|
|
potential.
|
|
|
2) A
variety neurotransmitters can be involved with
|
|
|
varying
effects.
|
|
|
3)
Neurotransmitters can be excitatory or
|
|
|
|
inhibitory.
The result might be to turn off the
|
|
|
|
next
neuron rather than to produce an action
|
|
|
|
potential.
