3 sources for · 0 against

Action potentials travel down axons and distribute across multiple terminal branches, though high frequencies or branching geometry can occasionally lead to propagation failures at specific terminals.

Demonstrates that action potential propagation can fail at branch points, leading to a stepwise reduction in the number of active synaptic terminals.

The analysis

The retrieved literature confirms that axons branch extensively and that action potentials propagate into multiple terminals, while also noting that propagation and energy distribution can be modulated or subject to failure at branch points under specific conditions (e.g., high frequencies). Therefore, the claim is supported by the neurophysiology literature on axonal branching.

Shows that high spike frequencies can cause failures to invade distal axonal branches, reflecting how action potential energy and propagation are distributed across terminals.

Explains that axons branch extensively and that propagation can be modulated or fail in distal branches under certain stimulation regimes.
