While neural impulses vary as a function of the length of the myelin segments, they otherwise are identical. The brain must function to decode these impulses much like a Moris code operator does. Explain qualitative coding Explain quantitative coding Explain the similarities and differences between receptor, generator, and graded potentials. Discuss lateral inhibition and describe its function. Explain on, off, and on-off fibers and discuss their function.
Survival depends on transducer's specialization.
Each inhibits neighbors Inhibition of rate of firing Output is function of all above. Greater the generator potential, the more frequent the spikes. Cells function in groups in CNS - as a result, new functions arise. Concepts Basic problem is specifying the stimulus. Receptors, thus, determine to which stimuli the organism can respond.
