L7 Neuronal integration

3 important questions on L7 Neuronal integration

How can you overcome the weakness of individual EPSP (excitatory post synaptic potential)?

  • By increasing the synaptic weight (firing influence of one neuron on the other, connection strength)
  • or inducing LTP

Most neurons receive both excitatory and inhibitory synapses.

What is:
Axodendritic
Dendrodendritic
Axoaxonic
Axosomatic


Axodendritic -> Axon to dendrite
Dendrodendritic -> Dendrite to dendrite
Axoaxonic -> Axon to axon
Axosomatic -> Axon to cell body

What is synaptic integration?

Synaptic integration: Process by which multiple synaptic potentials are combined within one postsynaptic neuron.

Spatial VS. Temporal integration
