Stimulating a neuron with a constant stimulus for an extended time Stimulating a neuron with a constant stimulus for an extended period of time
often leads to a strong initial response that relaxes over time. This often leads to a strong initial response that relaxes over time. This
process is called adaptation and is ubiquitous. Your task here is to process is called adaptation and is ubiquitous. Your task here is to
