Depolarization of postsynaptic neuron

Reference no: EM1389831

Question: Assume that each excitatory presynaptic neuron causes a 0.5mv depolarization of the postsynaptic neuron, and each inhibitory presynaptic neuron causes a 0.5mv hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic neuron. What would be the effect on the postsynaptic neuron if 87 excitatory neurons and 57 inhibitory pre-synaptic neurons fired simultaneously?
