State
The threshold of excitation is the level of depolarization a neuron must reach before it fires.
Show
Incoming signals push a neuron from negative toward zero, and nothing is transmitted until the threshold is crossed.
Watch for
Signals below threshold are not wasted. They sum with others arriving close in time.
