| Oct 1, 2020 at 18:40 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | @BryanKrause Agreed! That's a nice way of putting it. Did you downvote btw? Should I adjust my text anywhere? I though this was a quite OK answer imho. | |
| Oct 1, 2020 at 15:53 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | Missed this Q&A when it was posted. I'm not as familiar with peripheral nervous system stuff so I'm not sure what to answer for OP but definitely agree that "tonic" has separate meanings. The tonic/phasic firing mode of certain CNS neurons is pretty specialized and completely unrelated to, for example, muscle tone. I would assume (para)sympathetic tone is referring to something more akin to muscle tone which I wouldn't necessarily characterize as "mean activity level" but rather "activity level when we (experimenters) don't perturb it". | |
