... 1. Action potentials are electrochemical pulses that shoot down the neuron’s axon. They are “all-or-none”: A neuron either fires an action potential at full strength or does not fire at all. 2. After an action potential, there is a brief recovery time called a refractory period, during which a neuro ...
