Appendix 1—table 4. Typical ranges of physiological values for the motoneuron (MN) properties ${\displaystyle R,R_m,C,\tau ,I_{th},AHP}$, and ${\displaystyle ACV}$.

As described in ‘Methods’, $q_A^E$ is the average among reference studies of the ratios of minimum and maximum values; the properties experimentally vary over a $q_A^E$ -fold range. This ratio compares with the theoretical ratio $q_A^T={\left(q_S^E\right)}^{\left|c\right|}$ (with $c$ taken from Table 3), which sets the amplitude of the theoretical ranges. Absolute and average {min; max} are obtained as described in the main sections.
