Simulated APs generated in a model axon of 0.5μM diameter with a Na+ channel density of 30/μm2. (upper) Representative 10s tracing of spontaneous AP generation due to the membrane noise generated by the stochastic openings of Na+ channels. (lower) Application of a continuous depolarizing current in the model increased AP generation rate in an exponential fashion. Note log scale on ordinate.
