BONUS QUESTION wоrth 1 pоint.  Pоints will be аdded аfter the exаm closes. You perform 2 experiments on brain slices containing the CA3-CA1 synapses of the hippocampus.  In both experiments, neurons in CA3 are the presynaptic side and neuron 'B' in CA1 is the post-synaptic side. Experiment 1: For 15 minutes you apply low frequency stimulation to the presynaptic neuron in CA3, then return to baseline stimulation of CA3 and record the EPSP in neuron B. Experiment 2: For several days you treat the entire brain slice with a drug that blocks action potentials, then you wash out the drug and return to baseline stimulation of CA3 and record EPSPs in neuron B. How does activity in the CA1 neuron change compared to before the experiment?
