Question

If all 15 presynaptic neurons stimulate the post-synaptic neuron at the same time, will an action potential be produced?

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all 15 presynaptic neurons stimulate the post-synaptic neuron at the same time, the action potential will be produced. In a chemical synapse, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron is responsible for the release of a chemical messenger known as neurotransmitter. After this, the neurotransmitter diffuses across the synapse and binds to the postsynaptic cell so we can say that potential can be produced.
