Question

Typically, neurons firing action potentials encode a signal’s intensity by a. changing the size of their action potentials. b. changing the frequency of their action potentials. c. firing at precise moments so as to signal different sized signals. d. sending signals of different sizes down different axonal branches. e. All of the above

Answer 1

b.. changing the frequency of their action potentials

Step-by-step explanation:

Neurons encode the intensity of the stimulus in the frequency with which they fire.

Hence, the correct answer for neurons firing action potentials encode a signal’s intensity is option B that is changing the frequency of their action potentials
