Action potential waveforms are state-dependent

Action potentials are brief electrical impulses that form the mechanistic basis for how neurons communicate. While it is well known that the shape of action potentials can differ across neurons, one fundamental assumption is that the complex voltage waveforms of action potentials within a given neuron are reducible to binary spikes. This assumption has constrained our conception of possible…
