The fact that the intensity of stimulation is related to the rate of neural firing is attributable to the
A) absolute refractory period.
B) relative refractory period.
C) voltage gating in the buttons of the neuron.
D) sodium-potassium pump.
E) ligand gating in the buttons of the neuron.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relative refractory period is when a neuron can fire again but requires a stronger stimulus, linking stimulation intensity to firing rate.
