Card 35 / 50: How can you create half of an action potential?
A)
Manually stimulate a neuron twice, back to back, so that each stimulation will result in half of one action potential.

Inject the neuron with GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter) and then stimulate the neuron so that it is only halfway activated.
C)
The all-or-none law says that this is impossible.
D)
Stimulate the neuron on either end so that the action potentials will meet in the center so that only half is activated.
