However, the neuron in question (post- synaptic cell) does not generate an action potential. Give a valid explanation of why this could occur and be specific (15 points). This response should be based on Chapter 11 & 12 Information. 2. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the myelin sheaths are destroyed.
