Question

Action potential size cannot code for stimulus intensity. So, how can neurons code for stimulus intensity? ► View Available Hint(s) Opening of certain ion channels codes for different stimulus intensities. Some ion channels open when the stimulus is weak, different channels open when the stimulus is strong. Larger neurons are used for stronger stimuli, and smaller neurons are used for weaker stimuli. Ionotropic receptors are used for weaker stimuli, and metabotropic receptors are used for stronger stimuli. Action potentials can fire more frequently down the axon to indicate a stronger stimulus.
