A dendrite is depolarized from 60mV to 0mV Which of the foll

A dendrite is depolarized from -60mV to 0mV. Which of the following most closely approximates the membrane potential 20 microns away if the space constant is 10 microns?

a) -38

b) -60

c) -24

d) 0

e) -52

f) can\'t tell

Solution

Answer - Option B -60 since the space constant is 10 microns before that there will not be any change in the membrane potential.
