As s1 rises during an active phase, Is1 increases, which promotes the termination of the AP. However, Is1 starts to decline toward the end of the burst, leading to burst prolongation. Therefore, an increase in the time constant for s2 (τs2), leads to a longer decline in s1 (bold part of curve), which acts to increase AP duration.
