The activity of EPSPs can be canceled by activity of IPSPs.

_______ would tend to move into the neuron based on both the electrical gradient and concentration gradient.

Thrombospondin acts as a

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) require

When the separate electrical signals combine from multiple distant synapses across a neuron, the result is

Neurotransmitters are released from the dendritic spines.

A seizure could be caused by

In individuals who are susceptible to seizures, environmental stimuli such ___________ induce a seizure.

___________ have been proposed to be located in the inferior frontal cortex.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) result from

If the depolarization arriving at the spike-initiation zone is sufficiently large, at least ________ or more, it reach the threshold and trigger an action potential.

When the electrical signals from a single synapse firing rapidly and repetitively combine before they can each die out, the result is

The anterior cingulate and frontoinsular cortical areas are the only two areas where _____________ neurons are found.

Von Economo neurons are bipolar neurons.
