The action potential is: A graded depolarization response that depends on the synaptic input strength. An "all-or-none" depolarization response trigged when the membrane potential crosses the threshold. An "all-or-none" hyperpolarization response trigged when the membrane potential crosses the threshold. A graded hyperpolarization response that depends on the synaptic input strength.
