What propey of the postsynaptic neuron would optimize the effectiveness of two closely spaced axodendritic synapses?
High-Yield Explanation
Space constant increases with increasing membrane resistance or decreasing cytoplasmic resistance.Cytoplasmic resistance decreases as the cross-sectional area increases.Ref: Guyton; 13th edition; Chapter 46 Organization of the Nervous System, Basic Functions of Synapses, and Neurotransmitters
