Variable time-scales. The time derivatives of each variable are plotted over a spike event; v (red), m (orange), h (green), n (blue), w (purple), and s (gray). We find that there is a clear order of magnitude difference between the time derivatives of the variables v, m, h, n, and w, s. Inset: A magnification of the derivative time-traces; here the relative magnitudes of $\frac{dw}{dt}$ and $\frac{ds}{dt}$ can be seen
