The late eCAP component likely reflects repeated neural firing, not two fibre subpopulations

Evidence

The recorded compound action potential (CAP ) is described as the convolution of the unit response (UR , i.e., the waveform resulting from a single action potential) with the compound discharge latency distribution (CDLD ), the sum of spike events over time of all individual nerve fibres (Goldstein and Kiang 1958 , see also Fig. 1 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2383 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
