Shown are results from linear regression of neuronal refractory period (inverse of maximum firing rate; see Materials and Methods) versus action potential half-width (APhw) and action potential (AP) rise versus fall rate for five types of MVN neurons, all of the MVN neurons (All), and averages of the five cell types [All (avg)]. The correlation coefficients r and r², fit slope, number of neurons (n) and significance level (p) are indicated.
