action potentials have four properties important for neuronal signaling. first, they have a threshold for initiation. as we saw in chapter 6, in many nerve cells the membrane behaves as a simple resistor in response to small hyperpolarizing or depolarizing current steps. second, the action potential is an all-or-none event. the size and shape of an action potential initiated by a large depolarizing current is the same as that of an action potential evoked by a current that just surpasses the threshold. third, the cation potential is conducted without decrement. it has a self-regenerative feature that keeps the amplitude constant, even when it is conducted over great distances. fourth, the action potential is followed by a refractory period. for a brief time after an action potential is generated, the neuron’s ability to fire a second action potential is suppressed. the refractory period limits the frequency at which a nerve can fire action potentials, and thus limits the information-carrying capacity of the axon
