Additional action potentials can occur in response to stronger-than-normal stimulation during a neuron's absolute refractory period

LeDoux's work on the brain areas involved in emotional processes revealed that there is an independent neural path taking sensory information through the thalamus to a specific connection, which could account for why we are sometimes able to respond behaviourally to environmental stimuli before we have the chance to make a cognitive appraisal of these stimuli.
