Voltage clamp simulations for multifiber bundles in a double sucrose gap: cable complications.
A theoretical model is presented for voltage clamp of a bundle of cylindrical excitable cells in a double sucrose gap. The preparation in the test node is represented by a single one-dimensional cable (length/diameter ratio approximately) with standard Hodgkin-Huxley kinetics for transmembrane Na current. Imperfections of voltage control due to internal (longitudinal) resistivity and external (...
متن کاملVoltage clamp simulations for multifiber bundles in a double sucrose gap: radial vs. longitudinal resistance effects.
Voltage clamp responses of a single excitable fiber were simulated using a core conductor model including a high external resistance (Rs) in series to the fiber membrane to allow for intercellular clefts in a multifiber preparation. In terms of specific resistance, Rs was between 68 and 264 omega cm2. Internal resistivity (Ri) was taken to be zero or 200 omega cm. The aim of the study was to qu...
متن کاملLimitations of the double sucrose gap voltage clamp technique in tension-voltage determinations on frog atrial muscle.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the limitations of the double sucrose gap voltage clamp technique in the determination of tension-voltage relationships for frog atrial muscle. Tension-voltage relationships were determined under two conditions. In one case we determined both the tension response and slow inward current associated with an apparent step depolarization (step-clamp) as a f...

TASAKT, I. AND C. S. SPYROPOULOS. Nonunijorm response in the squid axon membrane under ‘voltage-clamp.’ Am. J. Physiol. 193(2): 309-317. 1958.-By cooling a portion of the squid giant axon at a time, it was shown that the repetitive membrane currents observed under the so-called voltageclamp conditions derived from the main portion of the ‘clamped’ axon membrane and not from the lateral unclampe...
متن کاملAn improved vaseline gap voltage clamp for skeletal muscle fibers
A Vaseline gap potentiometric recording and voltage clamp method is developed for frog skeletal muscle fibers. The method is based on the Frankenhaeuser-Dodge voltage clamp for myelinated nerve with modifications to improve the frequency response, to compensate for external series resistance, and to compensate for the complex impedance of the current-passing pathway. Fragments of single muscle ...
