Encoding the stimulus intensity: occurs via continuous conduction. occurs when the frequency of action potentials increase or decrease. occurs via saltatory conduction. occurs during the after-hyperpolarization.

'Which one of the following describes saltatory :conduction is faster than conduction in an unmyelinated fiber occurs only if the nodes of Ranvier are abscent is slower than conduction in an unmyelinated fiber occursonly if the myelin sheath is continuous'
