The Nonlinear Kinetics of an Electrodiffusion Membrane
Two approaches that have had a dominant influence on the study of excitability are macroscopic electrodiffusion, based on the Nernst-Planck equation, and the channel approach, based on the phenomenological for...

Squid Axon K Conduction: Admittance and Noise during Short-versus Long-Duration Step Clamps
About forty years ago K. S. Cole and R. F. Baker (1941) measured the longitudinal impedance of a squid axon between distant external electrodes. Figure la shows 12 impedance points that were determined with an...

Small-signal analysis of K+ conduction in squid axons
The maximum potential displacement that gives a linear K conductance response was determined to be 1 mV (rms) from a voltage-clamp analysis of TTX treated axons. For perturbations below this amplitude the K co...

Chemically induced K+ conduction noise in squid axon
Internal perfusion of tetraethylammonium ions (TEA) in squid axons produces a significant high frequency noise component. Although internal TEA suppresses the potassium conductance (G K) noise at relatively low f...

Complex admittance of Na+ conduction in squid axon
The complex admittance,Y(p), of squid axon was measured (4-1000 Hz) during step voltage clamp to obtain linear data on Na+ conduction.Y(p) is used as a spectroscopic tool to identify Na+ and K+ conduction, which ...

The units of calcium conduction in Helix neurones
VOLTAGE-DEPENDENT membrane calcium currents, ICa, occur in muscle1,2, axons3,4 and nerve cell bodies5–9 but are not well characterised because of difficulties in separating them from other ionic currents, and ina...

K+ Conduction description from the low frequency impedance and admittance of squid axon
The form of power spectra of K+ conduction fluctuations in patches of squid axon suggested that K+ conduction kinetics are higher than first order (Fishman, Moore & Poussart, 1975,J. Membrane Biol. 24:305). To ob...
