Excitation threshold of a neuron
Describe the excitation threshold of a neuron? How does this threshold associate to the “all-or-nothing” rule of neural transmission?
Expert
The excitation threshold of a neuron is the depolarization level which must be caused by a stimulus to be transmitted as neural impulse. This value is around –50 mV.
The transmission of neural impulse all along the neuronal membrane follows an all-or-nothing rule: or it occurs with maximum intensity or nothing occurs. Always and only whenever the excitation threshold is arrived at the depolarization continues and the membrane reaches its utmost possible positive polarization, around +35 mV. When the excitation threshold is not reached nothing occurs.
Why, even though they encompass an open circulatory system, can flying insects such as flies beat their wings with high speed?
The bigger the size of the perceived stimulus, the higher is the probability that it is perceived. Size attracts the attention of an individual. It establishes dominance and enhances perceptual selection.
