Abstract

White noise current was injected into the cockroach tactile spine neurons via an intracellular microelectrode to produce action potentials. First- and second-order frequency response functions were measured between membrane potential and action potentials. The results were used to test a nonlinear model of action potential encoding in which the threshold for action potentials increases with depolarization via two time constants.
