What happens to the efficacy of postsynaptic responses during long term depression? Efficacy is decreased: in response to the same stimulation, EPSPs are reduced. This change persists for hours to days or even months Efficacy is increased: In response to the same stimulation. This change persists for hours to days or even months Efficacy is decreased: In response to the same stimulation. This change persists for a period of seconds to minutes Efficacy is increased: In response to the same stimulation. This change persists for a period of seconds to minutes none of the above

As depression becomes more severe, what happens to the percentage of patients showing improvement while taking antidepressant drugs or placebos?
What happens if twice as many inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) as excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) arrive at a postsynaptic neuron in a short period of time? A stronger action potential results. A weaker action potential results. No action potential results.
