D)a neurotransmission.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A brief change in electrical voltage in the neuron in response to stimulation is called an action potential. The other options are not correct descriptions of this phenomenon. A node refers to specific points along the length of a neuron where the myelin sheath is interrupted. Synaptic charge is not a term commonly used in neuroscience. Neurotransmission refers to the process by which neurons communicate with one another through the release and reception of neurotransmitters.
