Higher post-synaptic cell resistance leads to a greater voltage change when current is applied
Is it true that higher post-synaptic cell resistance leads to a greater voltage change when current is applied?
This relationship is a direct application of Ohm's Law (V = I * R) to neuronal membrane physics, where a higher input resistance (R) results in a larger voltage change (V) for a given injected current (I), and no empirical citation is needed.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim is a restatement of Ohm's fundamental electrical law as applied to neuronal membranes (V = I * R). By definition, voltage change equals current multiplied by resistance, making this a matter of basic physics and common knowledge rather than an empirical hypothesis requiring citation.
