What is the Firing Rate of a Neuron

Question

What is the firing rate of a neuron?
A)the magnitude of a depolarization
B)the magnitude of an action potential
C)the number of action potentials generated over a given period of time
D)It is related to the resting membrane potential.

Accepted Answer

The firing rate of a neuron refers to the number of action potentials generated by the neuron over a given period of time. It is typically measured in Hz (Hertz), which is equivalent to the number of action potentials per second.
