Describe the differences between labeled-line and across-fiber pattern chemical coding

What will be an ideal response?


In a system relying on the labeled-line principle, each receptor would respond to a limited range of stimuli, and the meaning would depend entirely on which neurons are active. In a system relying on the across-fiber pattern principle, each receptor responds to a wider range of stimuli, and a given response by a given axon means little except in comparison to what other axons are doing
