We consider $p$-variations in some membrane potential data --viewed as a function of the step size in case where $p$ is fixed, or viewed as a function of $p$ in case where the step size is fixed-- and compare their shape with results in Ait-Sahalia and Jacod (2009) which do hold for general semimartingales. We obtain the following conclusion: in non- or very rarely spiking cases the membrane potential behaves as a semimartingale, in some cases as a semimartingale with jumps. Once the neuron is spiking, a semimartingale modelization is no longer adequate for the membrane potential between successive spikes, even if interspike intervals are relatively long.
