Anatomy & Physiology

A postsynaptic neuron has three presynaptic inputs-from neurons X, Y, and Z. Stimulation of neuron X causes the postsynaptic neuron to depolarize by 0.5 mV.  When X and Y are stimulated simultaneously, the postsynaptic neuron depolarizes by 1 mV.  When X and Z are stimulated simultaneously, however, there is no change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic neuron. What is most likely true about presynaptic neurons Y and Z?

A. Z is excitatory and Y is inhibitory. B. They are both inhibitory. C. They are both excitatory. D. Y is excitatory and Z is inhibitory.
