THE BEHAVIOR OF TONIC NEURONS AS PREDICTED BY THE RASHEVSKY‐HILL MODEL

Abstract

A phasic‐like behavior for tonic neurons is predicted by the classical Rashevsky‐Hill Model. The definition of a tonic neuron arises naturally in a clear mathematical way from this model. A simple experiment is proposed in order to verify the prediction of the Rashevsky‐Hill theory; should this experiment turn out to be positive, a revision of the biological concept of tonic neurons must follow.
