ion channels are responsible for control of cell function in excitable tissues such as heart and brain and also in organs and tissues traditionally thought to be non- excitable including liver and epithelium. in the present research, the effect of lead (pb2+) on ca2+ -dependent action potential and currents was studied in f77 neuronal soma membrane of helix aspersa. for this purpose, action pot...

Refined Kerr electrooptical fringe-pattern methods are used to study time and space variations in the electric field between the electrodes of parallel-plate capacitors filled with liquid nitrobenzene. Photographs of fringe-pattern data recorded during application of high direct (both positive and negative) and sinusoidal voltages, ranging in frequency from 40 to 200 Hz, are compiled to enable ...
