<prompt> What propey of the postsynaptic neuron would optimize the effectiveness of two closely spaced axodendritic synapses?A high membrane resistanceA high dendritic cytoplasmic resistanceA small cross-sectional areaA small space constant  <response>: Space constant increases with increasing membrane resistance or decreasing cytoplasmic resistance.Cytoplasmic resistance decreases as the cross-sectional area increases.Ref: Guyton; 13th edition; Chapter 46 Organization of the Nervous System, Basic Functions of Synapses, and Neurotransmitters
