At the dendrite the incoming signals arrive (incoming currents)

Structure of a Neuron:. At the dendrite the incoming signals arrive (incoming currents). At the soma current are finally integrated. At the axon hillock action potential are generated if the potential crosses the membrane threshold. The axon transmits (transports) the

Synaptic Action

Synaptic Action. Synaptic Potentials: EPSP IPSP. Synaptic Potentials. Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP) triggered by excitatory neurotransmitters open ligand-gated Na + channels allows Na + to flow inside the cell causing a slight depolarization of the postsynaptic cell
