You Are Experimenting on 3 Neurons in a Brain Slice

Multiple Choice

You are experimenting on 3 neurons in a brain slice that obey Hebbian principles of synaptic plasticity. Neurons 1 and 2 form separate synapses onto Neuron 3. If neurons 1 and 2 fire simultaneously and an action potential results in neuron 3, you might expect that

A) neuron 3 would be more easily depolarized to stimuli from neuron 1
B) neuron 1 would be more easily depolarized to stimuli from neuron 3
C) neuron 1 would be more easily depolarized to stimuli from neuron 2
D) all of the above
