Homogeneity in the Electrical Activity Pattern as a Function of Intercellular Coupling in Cell Networks
The aim of this paper is to study changes in the electrical activity of cellular networks when one of the most important electrical parameters, the coupling conductance, varies. We use the pancreatic islet of ...

Balance between intercellular coupling and input resistance as a necessary requirement for oscillatory electrical activity in pancreatic β-cells
We studied the emergence of oscillatory electrical activity after addition of glucose to insulin secreting cells. In the physiological glucose range (7–20 mM), these cells show a typical square-wave bursting p...

Optimal range of input resistance in the oscillatory behavior of the pancreatic β-cell
The pancreatic β-cell produces the hormone insulin in response to the blood glucose levels. This system is damaged in the diabetes. The central region of the ß-cell electrical response is oscillatory. In this ...
