Screening Action Potentials: The Power of Light
Action potentials reflect the concerted activity of all electrogenic constituents in the plasma membrane during the excitation of a cell. Therefore, the action potential is an integrated read out and a promising parameter to detect electrophysiological failures or modifications thereof in diagnosis as well as in drug screens. Cellular action potentials can be recorded by optical approaches. To ...
متن کاملLight- and dark-induced action potentials in Physcomitrella patens.
Glass microelectrodes were inserted into Physcomitrella patens gametophyte leaves and action potentials (APs) were recorded in response to sudden illumination as well as after darkening, i.e., when the dark-induced membrane depolarization crossed a threshold. Application of 5 mM La(3+) (a calcium channel inhibitor), 10 mM TEA(+) (a potassium channel inhibitor) and increased free Ca(2+) resulted...
متن کاملMembrane Potentials and Action Potentials
Electrical potentials exist across the membranes of virtually all cells of the body. In addition, some cells, such as nerve and muscle cells, are capable of generating rapidly changing electrochemical impulses at their membranes, and these impulses are used to transmit signals along the nerve or muscle membranes. In other types of cells, such as glandular cells, macrophages, and ciliated cells,...
متن کاملAction Potentials'
lntracellular Caz+, K+, CI-, and NOsactivities were measured with ion-selective microeledrodes in the liverwort Conocephalum conicum 1. at rest, during dark/light changes, and in the couese of adion potentials triggered by light or electrical stimuli. l h e average free cytosolic Caz+ concentration was 231 f 65 nM. We did not observe any light-dependent changes of the free cytosolic Caz+ concen...
متن کاملA Hybrid Classifier for Characterizing Motor Unit Action Potentials in Diagnosing Neuromuscular Disorders
Background: The time and frequency features of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) extracted from electromyographic (EMG) signal provide discriminative information for diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. However, the results of conventional automatic diagnosis methods using MUAP features is not convincing yet.Objective: The main goal in designing a MUAP characterization system ...
