Fig. 2 — Examples of confusing nomenclature. a Morphological terms [18, 47]. b Physiological properties. Neuronal responses to suprathreshold depolarizing (top) and hyperpolarizing (bottom) current injections. Green and red labels show different definitions of electrophysiological parameters (action potential amplitude and sag ratio). Vrest resting membrane potential, Vthresh threshold potential, Vmin minimum of membrane potential drop, Vss steady‐state membrane potential under long‐lasting hyperpolarizing stimulation, APampl action potential amplitude. c Molecular terminology
