2.4 Neural Firing
mixed difficulty
How does an action potential relate to neural firing?
Action potentials cause temporary paralysis in neurons preventing them from firing efficiently.
It’s a brief electrical charge that propagates down the axon initiating neural firing.
Action potentials occur as a result of excessive stimulation making neurons resistant to further stimuli for some time period.
Action potentials refer to how fast a signal can travel along an axon towards its destination without losing intensity.
