Essay

In Figure Q3-52, a 5-ms depolarizing current pulse was injected into the soma, which produced a single action potential that was recorded in the cell body. Right after that, the distant dendrites of the neuron were activated, which generated a dendritic spike, which propagated to the cell body and resulted in two additional somatic action potentials. What would happen to (A) the first and (B) the second two action potentials if you blocked the dendritic action potentials? Figure Q3-52
