What term refers to the firing of a neuron?
The term that refers to the firing of a neuron is "action potential." This process occurs when a neuron transmits an electrical impulse along its axon, resulting in the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse. The action potential is triggered when the neuron's membrane potential becomes sufficiently depolarized, typically due to the influx of sodium ions.
