The typical neuron can't fire faster than 1,000 cycles per second. This fact is most relevant to the limitations of which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency theory of pitch perception is directly related to the rate at which neurons can fire, as it suggests that the frequency of the sound wave is mirrored by the firing rate of the auditory nerve. If a neuron cannot fire faster than 1,000 cycles per second, this limits the theory's explanation for the perception of sounds with frequencies above 1,000 Hz.
