Question

1. If some of the postsynaptic receptors are blocked, what would be the effect on quantum content and quantum size? Explain.

2.         If the postsynaptic receptor produced only an increase in Na+ conductance would you expect it to be an inhibitory or excitatory synapse? Explain

3.         If the reversal potential for a synapse is -80 would you expect it to be an excitatory synapse or inhibitory synapse?

4.         How would the amplitude of the EPSP be affected by an increase in the membrane resistance of the postsynaptic cell? (Assume the synaptic current remains constant.)

5.         If the EPSP amplitude doubles and the miniature EPSP amplitude remains constant, what is the change in quantum content?
