Which statement BEST defines the volley principle?
A) For sounds greater than 1,000 Hz, neurons will fire at every peak of the incoming sound wave.
B) Neurons fire at every alternate peak of an incoming sound wave.
C) Neurons fire at a steady rate that does not vary with the frequency, and this steady rate affects the peak of a soundwave.
D) Action potentials are produced at the same time as peak of the incoming sound wave, but not necessarily at every peak.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volley principle suggests that groups of neurons can produce action potentials in a staggered manner to match the frequency of an incoming sound wave, but not necessarily at every peak.
