Multiple Choice
How does temporal summation create an action potential?
A) It is frequency modulated and of the same amplitude for intensity.
B) The temporal lobe in the brain stimulates EPSPs to trigger an action potential.
C) Generator potentials are at the same tempo on adjacent neurons.
D) Two or more postsynaptic potentials are generated in rapid succession at the same synapse before they can dissipate, thereby exceeding threshold.
E) Potentials are generated on several dendrites at the same time to trigger threshold and the production of an action potential.
