Difference between Action potential and Efficient coding hypothesis

Action potential vs. Efficient coding hypothesis

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise. The efficient coding hypothesis was proposed by Horace Barlow in 1961 as a theoretical model of sensory coding in the brain.

Similarities between Action potential and Efficient coding hypothesis

Action potential and Efficient coding hypothesis have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Lateral geniculate nucleus, Neuron, Optic nerve, Retina, Retinal ganglion cell, Sensory neuron.

Lateral geniculate nucleus

The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Optic nerve

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Retinal ganglion cell

A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye.

Sensory neuron

Sensory neurons also known as afferent neurons are neurons that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials.

The list above answers the following questions

Action potential and Efficient coding hypothesis Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Efficient coding hypothesis has 45. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 1.95% = 6 / (263 + 45).
