Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) may be produced by all the following EXCEPT:
Opening of Cl- channels
Opening of Na+ channels
Opening of Ca++ channels
Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP) may be produced by
Closure of Ca++ channels

Closure Cl- channels
Which of the following statements about EPSPs is incorrect?
They are propagated down the postsynaptic neuron
They undergo spatio-temporal summation
They are proportional to the amount of transmitter released by the presynaptic neuron.
Renshaw cell inhibition of alpha motor neurons is an example of:
Negative feedback inhibition
Direct inhibition
Lateral inhibition
Postsynaptic inhibition
All of the above
(train) of impulses travelling in a pre- synaptic neuron causes:
