Using a set of diverse conductance-based neuronal models, the effects of changes to properties of ionic currents on neuronal firing were determined to be heterogenous for the AUC of the steady state fI curve but more homogenous for rheobase. For a known channelopathy, episodic ataxia type~1 associated \Kv mutations, the effects on rheobase are consistent across model cell types, whereas the effects on AUC depend on cell type. Our results demonstrate that LOF and GOF on the biophysical level cannot be uniquely transfered to the level of neuronal firing. The effects depend on the properties of the other currents expressed in a cell and are therefore depending on cell type. To compare the effects of changes to properties of ionic currents on neuronal firing of different neuron types, a diverse set of conductance-based models were simulated. Changes to single ionic current properties, as well as application of known episodic ataxia type~1 associated \Kv mutations showed consistent effects on the rheobase across cell types, whereas the effects on AUC of the steady-state fi-curve depend on cell type. Our results demonstrate that LOF and GOF on the biophysical level cannot be uniquely transfered to the level of neuronal firing. The effects depend on the properties of the other currents expressed in a cell and are therefore depending on cell type.

\notejb{Before we start questioning our models we should have a paragraph pointing out that neurons are diverse and differ in their ion channel composition. Cite for example those recent Nature/Science papers where Phillip Berens is part of on neuron types in cerebellum. Thomas Euler Retina ganglien cell types.

And many more... like Eve Marder as you have it in a paragraph further down.}\\ \notejb{Before we start questioning our models we should have a paragraph pointing out that neurons are diverse and differ in their ion channel composition.
