How Does Information Transfer Occur at Electrical Synapses

Multiple Choice

How does information transfer occur at electrical synapses?

A) Electrical depolarization of the nerve terminal leads to current flow directly from the presynaptic cell to the postsynaptic cell through connexons (or gap junctions) .
B) Electrical depolarization of the nerve terminal causes presynaptic calcium channels to open, leading to the direct excitation of the postsynaptic cell.
C) Electrical depolarization of the nerve terminal causes the release of chemicals that open postsynaptic ligand-gated ion channels which pass current, depolarizing the postsynaptic cell.
D) Electrical depolarization of the nerve terminal directly opens postsynaptic ligand-gated ion channels, which pass current, depolarizing the postsynaptic cell.
E) Electrical depolarization of the nerve terminal leads to current flow directly from the presynaptic cell to the postsynaptic cell through voltage-gated ion channels.
