Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Neuroscientific studies confirm that an inhibitory tone represents a continuous baseline level of inhibitory synaptic or extrasynaptic activity that controls neuronal excitability and firing.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently define and discuss tonic inhibition or inhibitory tone as a continuous, persistent baseline inhibitory current or activity present in neurons, matching the claim.
