Other questions in this quiz

2. Does firing rate/ timing of action potentials carry information?

  • Yes, each actions potentials rate and timing reflects the neurons activity
  • No, each action potential has approximately the same firing rate and timing

3. In a raster plot, what does a row represent?

  • Time
  • An experimental trial
  • A spike
  • How many spikes fired in a given period

4. From where do neurons receive input?

  • Myelin
  • Axon
  • Dendrites
  • Nucleus

5. What is rate coding?

  • Information about the stimulus or response is carried in the amplitude of the action potential
  • Information about the stimulus or response is carried in the rate at which the cell fires
  • Information about the stimulus or response is carried in the precise timing of the individual spikes
  • Information about the stimulus or response is carried in the pitch of the action potential
