Question

An excitatory signal is received at the dendrite of a pyramidal glutamate neuron. When the signal is released from the incoming presynaptic dopaminergic axon, it is received as an inhibitory signal. However, this signal is not integrated properly with other incoming signals to that neuron. Which is the most likely site at which the error of integrating this signal with other incoming signals occurred

Answer 1

Soma

Step-by-step explanation:

Soma is the site at which the error of integrating an excitatory signal with other incoming signals occurred. Another name for Soma is perikaryon.

This signal integrates chemical encoding of signal transduction from all other incoming signals and this signal is not integrated properly with other incoming signals to that neuron.
