When a sensory receptor is stimulated
over time, it may increase its
threshold potential making it more difficult
to fire an action potential. This
is known as.
excitatory stimulation
O inhibitory perception
sensory adaptation
threshold potentiation
Action potentials from the semicircular
canals go to the
occipital lobe
cerebellum
temporal lobe
parietal lobe
