how is the intensity of a stimulus encoded during information transmission to the central nervous system? A)second order neuron is dedicated to a certain stimulus intensity. B) the neurotransmitter released from the afferent neuron is different based on stimulation intensity. c) the amplitude of action potentials transmitted to the CNS is greater for a stronger stimulus. d) the frequency of action potentials transmitted to the CNS is greater for a stronger stimulus

Question 46 If action potentials are all-or-nothing, then how is the intensity of the stimulus coded into action potentials? Intense stimuli produce more intense action potentials. Intense stimuli produce higher frequency of action potentials. Intense stimuli result in a reduction in the number of action potentials produced. There is a separate neuronal network that codes for stimulus intensity. The body does not code of stimulus intensity

Regarding a neuron's response to stimulation, the intensity of the stimulus determines a. whether or not an impulse is generated. b. how fast an impulse is transmitted. c. how intense an impulse will be. d. whether reuptake will occur.
