To investigate the effects of 2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxyacetophenone (paeonol) on the electrophysiological behavior of a central neuron (right parietal 4; RP4) of the giant African snail (Achatina fulica ...
The internal resistance of axons to ionic current flow determines action potential conduction velocity. Although mitochondria support axonal function, axons have been modeled as organelle-free cables, ...
Electrophysiology is the measurement of the electrical activity, or “excitability”, of biological cells (be they muscle cells, neurons, or stem cells). This can be done at a single-cell level, or it ...
To hunt flies and other small animals, the Venus flytrap has to be faster than its prey. To do so, it has developed a catching organ that can snap shut in a fraction of a second and is controlled by ...
How do neurons conduct electrical impulses? Neurons conduct electrical impulses by using the Action Potential. This phenomenon is generated through the flow of positively charged ions across the ...
