Which of the following explains a neuron's means of encoding various intensities of stimuli?
A)Passive conduction
B)Decremental conduction
C)All-or-none law
D)Rate law

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law states that the intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the frequency of action potentials. As the intensity of a stimulus increases, the neuron will fire action potentials at a higher frequency. This allows for the neuron to encode a range of stimulus intensities.
