Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The all-or-none principle refers to the way neurons operate when generating an action potential. Once the threshold of excitation is reached, a neuron will fire an action potential at its full intensity or not at all, regardless of the strength of the stimulus (as long as it is above threshold). This principle does not vary in intensity; it's either a full response or none, hence the term "all-or-none."
