Researchers have succeeded in demonstrating that a neuronal network in mammals can work perfectly with a mode of conduction of excitation that is independent of action potentials.

Action potentials Typically, neurons share information by producing electrical events called action potentials, also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their ...

New voltage-sensitive dyes that allow scientists to view and record cardiac action potentials from layers deep within the heart have been developed. It is hoped that the new dyes will help ...

All these are typical features of action potentials. Such "digital" signals had occasionally been observed in bipolar cells before, but these were believed to be rare exceptional cases.

Action potentials in nonmyelinated axons are considered to contribute substantially to activitydependent brain metabolism. Here we show that fast Na⁺ current decay and delayed K⁺ current onset during ...

Collision Block of Action Potentials. An electrically initiated action potential (AP) can be sent towards an oncoming naturally generated AP to neutralize it and stop propagation, collision block. To ...

Figure 3: Full-sized action potentials and large and small spikelets during persistent firing match antidromic full and partial spikes.

Atrial fibrillation occurs when action potentials fire very rapidly within the pulmonary veins or atrium in a chaotic manner. The result is a very fast atrial rate — about 400 to 600 beats per ...
