Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "propagation of action potentials" refers to the movement of a series of action potentials down the length of an axon. This process allows information to be transmitted from one neuron to the next. Options A, C, and D refer to other concepts in neuroscience, but are not the best choices in this context.
