Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve impulses carried by neurons are called action potentials. Neurotransmitters are molecules released by neurons to communicate with other cells, not the actual impulses themselves. Refractory periods refer to a period of rest before a neuron can fire another action potential. EEGs (electroencephalograms) are recordings of electrical activity in the brain, not the impulses carried by neurons.
