Neuron A receives excitatory input from neuron B along its dendrites. Which of the following will be observed from recording neuron A following stimulation of neuron B twice in close succession?
a. The EPSP recorded in neuron A after firing twice in close succession is smaller (subtractive) in amplitude and different in shape compared to the EPSP after a single activation.
b. The EPSP recorded in neuron A after firing twice in close succession is larger (additive) in amplitude but similar in shape compared to the EPSP after a single activation.
c. The EPSP recorded in neuron A after firing twice in close succession is larger (additive) in amplitude and different in shape compared to the EPSP after a single activation.
d. The EPSP recorded in neuron A after firing twice in close succession is unaltered in amplitude and similar in shape compared to the EPSP after a single activation.
