stimulus duration, the length of time a stimulus must be applied for the resulting nerve impulse to produce excitation in the receptor tissue. In general, more intense stimuli require shorter excitation times to effect cellular response. Any stimulus that acts too briefly to overcome the threshold intensity of the receptor cell will not elicit a response. How to thank TFD for its existence?
