Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neural impulse is generated when the overall sum of excitatory signals minus inhibitory signals reach a certain threshold, at which point an action potential is triggered and the impulse is transmitted down the axon of the neuron. The threshold represents the minimum level of depolarization required to produce an action potential.
