Neuronal response to a stimulus can be probed by electrophysiology measurements and recorded as an action potential (AP) generated in response to an input signal (I). In an experiment, corresponding neurons obtained from a healthy rat ( H ) and from a hyper-sensitive rat ( S ) were probed after an input signal of varying amplitude was administered once every second. The results obtained are shown in the following gra
Options
- ABoth H and S neurons initiate an AP when the input signal (I) is 1 unit.
- BBoth H and S neurons initiate an AP only when the input signal (I) is 2 units.
- CBoth H and S neurons initiate an AP when the input signal (I) is 2 units, but only S can sustain it for more t
- DS , but not H , neurons always initiate an AP when the input signal (I) is 1 unit and is sustained.
Correct answer
C. Both H and S neurons initiate an AP when the input signal (I) is 2 units, but only S can sustain it for more t
