Yes, Graded potentials (otherwise known as postsynaptic potentials) can form on receptor endings.
Graded Potentials
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.

Yes, Graded potentials (otherwise known as postsynaptic potentials) can form on receptor endings.
Postsynaptic potentials are changes in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic terminal of a chemical synapse. Graded potentials are changes in membrane potential that vary in size, as opposed to being all-or-none, and are not postsynaptic potentials.

On the dendrites and subsequently the soma (body) of neurons.

A hyperpolarizing graded potential makes the cell more negative, typically caused by an influx of chloride ions or efflux of potassium ions. In contrast, a depolarizing graded potential makes the cell less negative, often due to an influx of sodium ions or calcium ions. Both types of potentials play a role in generating action potentials in neurons.
No, they actually decrease in amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point.
