Although, firing differences can be characterized by an area under the curve of the fI curve for fixed current steps this approach characterizes firing as a mixture of key features: rheobase and the initial slope of the fI curve. By probing rheobase directly and using an AUC relative to rheobase, we disambiguate these features and enable insights into the effects on rheobase and initial fI curve steepness. This increases the specificity of our understanding of how ion channel mutations alter firing across cells types and enable classification as described in \Cref{fig:firing_characterization}. Importanty, in cases when ion channel mutations alter rheobase and initial fI curve sleepness in ways that opposing effects on firing (upper left and bottom right quadrants of \Cref{fig:firing_characterization}B) this disamgibuation is important for understanding the outcome of the mutation. In these cases, the regime the neuron is operating in is vital in determining the cells firing outcome. If it is in its excitable regime and only occasionally generates an action potential, then the effect on the rheobase is more important. If it is firing periodically with high rates, then the change in AUC might be more relevant.
\subsection*{Modelling Limitations}
The models used here are simple and while they all capture key aspects of the firing dynamics for their respective cell, they fall short of capturing the complex physiology and biophysics of real cells. However, for the purpose of understanding how different cell-types, or current environments, contribute to diversity in firing outcomes of ion channel mutations, the fidelity of the models to the physiological cells they represent is of a minor concern and the variety in currents and dynamics across models is of utmost importance. With this context, models are labelled as models A-L here to highlight that the physiological cells they represent is not of chief concern, but rather that the collection of models with different attributes results in heterogenous firing responses to the same perturbation. Additionally, the development of more realistic models is a high priority and will enable cell-type specific predictions that may aid in precision medicine approaches. Thus, weight should not be put on any single predicted firing outcome here in a specific model, but rather on the differences in outcomes that occur across the cell-type spectrum the models used here represent.

\subsection*{Neuronal Diversity}
The nervous system consists of a vastly diverse and heterogenous collection of neurons with variable properties and characteristics including diverse combinations and expression levels of ion channels which are vital for neuronal firing dynamics.

To our knowledge, no comprehensive evaluation of how ionic current environment and cell type affect the outcome of ion channel mutations have been reported. However, comparisons between the effects of such mutations between certain cell types were described. For instance, the R1648H mutation in SCN1A does not alter the excitability of cortical pyramidal neurons, but causes hypoexcitability of adjacent inhibitory GABAergic neurons \citep{Hedrich14874}. In the CA3 region of the hippocampus, the equivalent mutation in \textit{SCN8A}, R1627H, increases the excitability of pyramidal neurons and decreases the excitability of parvalbumin positive interneurons \cite{makinson_scn1a_2016}. Additionally, the L858H mutation in \(\textrm{Na}_\textrm{V}\textrm{1.7}\), associated with erythermyalgia, has been shown to cause hypoexcitability in sympathetic ganglion neurons and hyperexcitability in dorsal root ganglion neurons \citep{Waxman2007, Rush2006}. The differential effects of L858H \(\textrm{Na}_\textrm{V}\textrm{1.7}\) on firing is dependent on the presence or absence of another sodium channel, namely the \(\textrm{Na}_\textrm{V}\textrm{1.8}\) subunit \citep{Waxman2007, Rush2006}. These findings, in concert with our findings emphasize that the ionic current environment in which a channelopathy occurs is vital in determining the outcomes of the channelopathy on firing.
Cell type specific differences in ionic current properties are important in the effects of ion channel mutations. However within a cell type heterogeneity in channel expression levels exists and it is often desirable to generate a population of neuronal models and to screen them for plausibility to biological data in order to capture neuronal population diversity \citep{marder_multiple_2011}. The models we used here are originally generated by characterization of current gating properties and by fitting of maximal conductances to experimental data \citep{pospischil_minimal_2008, ranjan_kinetic_2019, alexander_cerebellar_2019, otsuka_conductance-based_2004}. This practice of fixing maximal conductances based on experimental data is limiting as it does not reproduce the variability in channel expression and neuronal firing behavior of a heterogeneous neuron population \citep{verma_computational_2020}. For example, a model derived from the mean conductances in a neuronal sub-population within the stomatogastric ganglion, the so-called "one-spike bursting" neurons fire three spikes instead of one per burst due to an L-shaped distribution of sodium and potassium conductances \citep{golowasch_failure_2002}.

Multiple sets of conductances can give rise to the same patterns of activity also termed degeneracy and differences in neuronal dynamics may only be evident with perturbations \citep{marder_multiple_2011, goaillard_ion_2021}.
The variability in ion channel expression often correlates with the expression of other ion channels \citep{goaillard_ion_2021} and neurons whose behavior is similar may possess correlated variability across different ion channels resulting in stability in the neuronal phenotype \citep{lamb_correlated_2013, soofi_co-variation_2012, taylor_how_2009}.
The variability of ionic currents and degeneracy of neurons may account, at least in part, for the observation that the effect of toxins within a neuronal type is frequently not constant \citep{khaliq_relative_2006, puopolo_roles_2007, ransdell_neurons_2013}.

abstract = {Many species of cold-blooded animals experience substantial and rapid fluctuations in body temperature. Because biological processes are differentially temperature dependent, it is difficult to understand how physiological processes in such animals can be temperature robust [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Experiments have shown that core neural circuits, such as the pyloric circuit of the crab stomatogastric ganglion (STG), exhibit robust neural activity in spite of large (20°C) temperature fluctuations [3, 5, 7, 8]. This robustness is surprising because (1) each neuron has many different kinds of ion channels with different temperature dependencies (Q10s) that interact in a highly nonlinear way to produce firing patterns and (2) across animals there is substantial variability in conductance densities that nonetheless produce almost identical firing properties. The high variability in conductance densities in these neurons [9, 10] appears to contradict the possibility that robustness is achieved through precise tuning of key temperature-dependent processes. In this paper, we develop a theoretical explanation for how temperature robustness can emerge from a simple regulatory control mechanism that is compatible with highly variable conductance densities [11, 12, 13]. The resulting model suggests a general mechanism for how nervous systems and excitable tissues can exploit degenerate relationships among temperature-sensitive processes to achieve robust function.},
