The flash of Noctiluca miliaris occurs only in response to a characteristic all-or-none action potential, the polarity of which is opposite to that of metazoan action potentials, whether recorded internally or externally. Mechanical stimulation evokes a slow, generator-like graded potential which can give rise to the flash-triggering action potential. The flash is all-or-none; it facilitates, summates, and exhibits fatigue, each independently of changes in the amplitude of the action potential.
夜光虫的闪光仅对一种典型的全或无动作电位产生反应，无论在内部还是外部记录，其极性都与后生动物动作电位的极性相反。机械刺激会引发一种缓慢的、类似发生器的分级电位，该电位可引发触发闪光的动作电位。闪光是全或无的；它具有易化、总和以及疲劳现象，且每种现象都独立于动作电位幅度的变化。
