The neuron with the lowest threshold potential will fire first when several neurons are stimulated equally. Threshold potential is the minimum level of depolarization needed to trigger an action potential in a neuron. Neurons with lower threshold potentials are more excitable and will fire before neurons with higher threshold potentials.

What is the human memory?
Human memory is the ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences. It involves several processes such as encoding, storage, and retrieval of information in the brain. Memory is essential for learning, decision-making, and forming our sense of self.
Which part of the brain controls reflexes?
The spinal cord is primarily responsible for controlling reflexes. When a stimulus is detected by sensory neurons, the spinal cord sends a quick response through motor neurons to initiate a reflex action without involving the brain.
What was muller's doctrine of specific nerve energies?
Muller's doctrine of specific nerve energies states that the nature of a sensation is determined not by the stimulus itself, but by the specific nerve fibers that are stimulated. In other words, different nerve fibers are responsible for transmitting different types of sensory information to the brain, regardless of the type of stimulus. This theory helped to establish the concept of sensory coding in neuroscience.
What do you call assessments of others that are made quickly and on the basis of only a few bits of information?
There are several idiomatic expressions for this, two of which are "first impression" and "snap judgment." The latter infers that the assessment was unfair or erroneous.
What are the two physiological regulators of behavior?
The two physiological regulators of behavior are hormones and neurotransmitters. Hormones are chemical messengers released by endocrine glands that travel through the bloodstream to target cells, influencing behavior. Neurotransmitters are chemical substances released by neurons that transmit signals across synapses, affecting behavior.
First order sensory neurons?
First order sensory neurons begin in the receptor, travel to dorsal/posterior gray horn of the spinal cord where they synapse with the second order sensory neurons.
Which is the first structure stimulated in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptors.
The neurons that would pick up sound first before it is even relayed to the brain are called?
connecting neurons
A muscle is stimulated and exhibits a contraction twitch Before this twitch is over it is stimulated again and a second twitch occurs piggyback on the first one and causes a higher contraction?
summation
what is the first number that goes into 5 and 8 equally?
The number 1 is the first number that goes into 5 and 8 equally.
How do receptor neurons help people perceive smells?
Receptor neurons in the nostrils first detect an odor by coming into contact with and reacting to gas molecules of the substance. Then the receptor neurons send information about the odor along the olfactory nerve to the brain.
What is secretion of sebum first stimulated by?
Sebaceous glands are alveolar glands, most of which open into hair follicles. Their secretion is sebum.
What are the three broad categories of neurons?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
What are facts about neuron?
1) Neurons get used to each other,like neighbours. For example, the first time yout try to ride a bike the neurons are not used to each other,so you usually fall. After a lot of practice,the neurons start to get use to each other, and the next you you ride your bike you will ride perfectly because of your neurons. sorry i only have one reason........
Who was Kody Brown's first wife?
He loves them all equally.
Who invened lasers?
Well the principle of stimulated emission was discovered by Albert Einstein. But first laser was fabricated by Theodore Mainman
How can be cloning done?
Creating neurons and linking them with each other creates clone of a brain. Simple brains with only 4-5 neurons linked can be created first before creating complex human brain.
