Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural coding refers to the process by which the nervous system converts action potentials into meaningful information. This allows the brain to differentiate between stimuli based on their source and intensity. The other options (recruitment, pooling, integration, and facilitation) describe other processes involved in neural communication, but do not address how the brain differentiates between stimuli.
