A late eCAP firing component reflects excitation peripheral to the cell body

Evidence

The late component can be ascribed to excitation peripheral to the cell body (Stypulkowski and van den Honert 1984 ) which is thought to occur to a larger extent near threshold (Briaire and Frijns 2005 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2444

• DEFINE: Distinguishes where along the neural fiber each firing component originates — peripheral vs. central to the cell body — which clarifies the spatial basis of the two-component model.
