Suprathreshold graded potentials within a neuron can generate action potential(s)at the axon hillock, which allows for the _ of the magnitude of the stimulus.
A)a single : amplitude coding
B)multiple : frequency coding
C)multiple : amplitude coding
D)several : amplitude coding
E)a single : frequency coding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suprathreshold graded potentials can generate multiple action potentials at the axon hillock, and the frequency of these action potentials encodes the magnitude of the stimulus, which is known as frequency coding.
