What's the difference between conductivity and electrotonus?
Conductivity
Definition:
(n.) The quality or power of conducting, or of receiving and transmitting, as heat, electricity, etc.; as, the conductivity of a nerve.

Electrotonus
Definition:
(n.) The modified condition of a nerve, when a constant current of electricity passes through any part of it. See Anelectrotonus, and Catelectrotonus.
Example Sentences:
(1) In addition, transfer of synaptic charge in the model neuron, under both current- and voltage-clamp conditions, equalled theoretical predictions from two-port analyses of linear electrotonus.
(2) High-density recordings (2 mm) along the arc of block showed double potentials separated by an isoelectric interval, interpreted as local activation and electrotonus due to activation on the opposite side of the arc.

(5) From the different effects of the blocking agents on the fast and slow components of electrotonus, it was deduced (a) that the inward rectification is a property of the internodal axon, (b) that the slow outward rectifier is present at the nodes, and probably the internodes as well, and (c) that the 4AP-sensitive channels have a minor nodal and a major internodal representation.
