6. A neuron has a synaptic input directly into the soma. The input resistance of the neuron is 500 MQ, the resting membrane potential is -65 mV and the neuron has the typical ion concentrations we discussed in class. a. The synaptic input opens 20 GABA receptors that each have 40 pS conductance. How much voltage change would you get from activating that synapse? What would the final voltage be? b. How much voltage change would you get if instead the synapse opened 20 AMPA receptors that each have a 40 pS conductance? What would the final voltage be? c. How much would input resistance change in a and b. d. How would the changes in input resistance change the final voltages? 6. A neuron has a synaptic input directly into the soma.
