Oscillation and Repetitive Firing in Squid Axons

Space-clamped squid axons treated with low calcium and computed Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) axons were stimulated by steps of superthreshold current from 101 to 400% of the rheobasic value over a temperature range of 5-27 degrees C. The natural frequency of sustained repetitive firing of real and computed axons depended weakly upon stimulus intensity and strongly upon temperature, with a Q(10) of 2.7 (...

Subthreshold Behavior and Phenomenological Impedance of the Squid Giant Axon

The oscillatory behavior of the cephalopod giant axons in response to an applied current has been established by previous investigators. In the study reported here the relationship between the familiar "RC" electrotonic response and the oscillatory behavior is examined experimentally and shown to be dependent on the membrane potential. Computations based on the three-current system which was in...

Temperature Characteristics of Excitation in Space-Clamped Squid Axons

Temperature characteristics of excitability in the squid giant axon were measured for the space-clamped axon with the double sucrose gap technique. Threshold strength-duration curves were obtained for square wave current pulses from 10 microsec to 10 msec and at temperatures from 5 degrees C to 35 degrees C. The threshold change of potential, at which an action potential separated from a subthr...
