How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15837136 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: The Physiology of Nerve Cells Context triple: [John Eccles, notableWork, The Physiology of Nerve Cells]
-
A.
all-or-none principle in nerve excitation
The all-or-none principle in nerve excitation is the physiological rule that a nerve fiber, once stimulated beyond a certain threshold, responds with a full, uniform action potential rather than a graded response.
-
B.
Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons
Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons is a seminal book that rigorously explains how individual neurons perform complex information processing using biophysical and computational principles.
-
C.
Textura del sistema nervioso del hombre y de los vertebrados
"Textura del sistema nervioso del hombre y de los vertebrados" is a landmark neuroanatomical work by Santiago Ramón y Cajal that meticulously describes the microscopic structure and organization of the nervous system in humans and other vertebrates.
-
D.
“Sensations and Brain Processes”
“Sensations and Brain Processes” is a landmark 1959 philosophical paper in which J. J. C. Smart defends the mind–brain identity theory by arguing that sensations are nothing over and above brain processes.
-
E.
Hodgkin–Huxley model
The Hodgkin–Huxley model is a mathematical description of how action potentials in neurons are initiated and propagated through voltage-gated ion channels in the cell membrane.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
