MeSH definition : The shortest duration of an electrical stimulus where the threshold amplitude is twice
the rheobase - the minimum required for eliciting an ACTION POTENTIAL at any time
period. It is a measure of the excitability of nerve or muscle tissue, and is characteristic
of types and/or condition of the nerve or muscle cells in the tissue.;
