Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Under basal conditions, both pre-and postsynaptic strengths cluster on single dendritic branches according to the identity of the presynaptic neurons, thus highlighting the ability of single dendritic branches to exhibit input specificity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The postsynaptic membrane contains specific ACh receptors (AChR), concentrated opposite the active zones. These are one of the best-characterized ionic channels. Their opening allows ions to flow following the specific binding of ACh.
