Definitions

Subthreshold (or membrane potential) resonance refers to the ability of neurons to exhibit a peak in their voltage amplitude response to oscillatory input currents at a preferred (resonant) frequency.

Subthreshold (or membrane potential) phasonance refers to the ability of neurons to exhibit a zero-phase (or zero-phase-shift) response to oscillatory inputs currents at a nonzero (phasonant) frequency separating between advanced and delayed responses for frequencies smaller and larger than the phasonant frequency, respectively.

Linear subthreshold resonance and phasonance refers to the occurrence of these phenomena in linear systems.

Nonlinear subthreshold resonance and phasonancerefers to the occurrence of these phenomena in nonlinear systems where at least one of the linearity principles is not...
