The image to the left (click for larger image) depicts voltage traces recorded from a mouse olfactory bulb mitral cell.  The cell was stimulated with a series of successive 25 nA impulses ranging from -50 to 175 nA.  The bottom green trace is from a -50 nA impulse.  The top green trace is from a 0 nA impulse.  The red trace is highlighted to show that this cell fires an action potential when stimulated with a 50 nA impulse.
