Frequency Stimulus Describe Information Impulse Transmission Transmits Neurones

The frequency of nerve impulse transmission communicates the intensity of a stimulus to other neurons; a larger stimulus results in action potentials being generated more frequently.

Front Describe what information the frequency of impulse transmission transmits to other neurones.
Back Frequency:
  • Frequency corresponds to size of stimulus
  • Larger stimulus means APs generated more frequently
