By which one of the following methods is a stronger stimulus coded by neurons differently from a weaker stimulus?
A) A stronger stimulus results in greater depolarization.
B) A stronger stimulus results in more action potentials/unit time.
C) A stronger stimulus results in action potentials, which travel faster.
D) A stronger stimulus results in hyperpolarization of the neuron.
E) A stronger stimulus results in prolonged influx of Na⁺ ions and a delay before repolarization.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a stronger stimulus is applied, more neurons are recruited and the frequency of action potentials generated by each neuron increases. This results in more action potentials/unit time, which helps to code for a stronger stimulus.
