The Primary Means by Which a Neuron Can Communicate to a Second

Question

The primary means by which a neuron can communicate to a second neuron is by
A) the frequency of its action potentials.
B) the peak of the depolarization phase of an action potential.
C) the peak of the undershoot/hyperpolarization of an action potential.
D) varying how much neurotransmitter it releases for a given action potential.
E) remaining in the depolarization phase of the action potential for an extended interval.

Accepted Answer

Neurons primarily communicate by varying the frequency of their action potentials, which can influence the amount of neurotransmitter released at the synapse.
