Question
the site in the neuron where epsps and ipsps are integrated is the
electrical synapse.
synaptic terminal.
chemical synapse.
axon hillock.
dendritic membrane.
EPSPs (Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials) and IPSPs (Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials) are electrical signals in neurons. The axon hillock is the region where these potentials are summed up (integrated). Electrical and chemical synapses are for communication between neurons. The synaptic terminal is part of the presynaptic neuron. The dendritic membrane receives signals but integration (summing) occurs at the axon hillock.
