Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response These “data” are for illustration only.

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response

Sensory Neurons Differ In Firing Threshold

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response Sensory Neurons Differ In Firing Threshold Stimulus Intensity Firing Rate *100 per second Low High

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response Sensory Neurons Differ In Firing Threshold Stimulus Intensity Firing Rate *100 per second Low Threshold Neuron High Sensitivity High Threshold Neuron Low Sensitivity Low High

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response Only Sensitive Neurons Fire at Low Stimulus Intensity Stimulus Intensity Firing Rate *100 per second Low High Low Threshold Neuron High Sensitivity High Threshold Neuron Low Sensitivity

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response Less Sensitive Neurons Fire at High Stimulus Intensity Stimulus Intensity Firing Rate *100 per second Low High Low Threshold Neuron High Sensitivity High Threshold Neuron Low Sensitivity

Greater Intensity = Faster Cortical Response At the highest intensities “all” neurons fire maximally Stimulus Intensity Firing Rate *100 per second Low High Low Threshold Neuron High Sensitivity High Threshold Neuron Low Sensitivity

Pre-Synaptic Neuron Post-Synaptic Neuron Synapse

Pre-Synaptic Neuron Releases Neurotransmitter Into the Synapse Post-Synaptic Neuron Integrates & Fires Synapse

Pre-Synaptic Neuron Releases Neurotransmitter Into the Synapse Post-Synaptic Neuron Integrates & Fires Synapse Higher Stimulus Intensities Generate More Pre-synaptic Neurotransmitter Release. Increases in Neurotransmitter Drive Post-Synaptic Neurons More Quickly To Their Spiking Threshold.
