(17) The depolarizing response was not the result of increased extracellular K, as demonstrated by the constancy of the undershoot of the axonal action potential during the depolarization, by the failure of the response to summate during repetitive stimulation and by the failure of the response amplitude to vary as predicted when the [K] of the saline was varied.
