Context:
He and his colleagues first discovered individual nerve cells can fire off signals even in the absence of electrical stimulations in the cell body or dendrites. It's not always stimulus in, immediate action potential out. (Action potentials are the fundamental electrical signaling elements used by neurons; they are very brief changes in the membrane voltage of the neuron.)
No, it means input and output.

So "It's not always stimulus in, immediate action potential out" refers to "when there is stimulus input, there will not always be immediate action potential output"?
