Abstract: | The response of a molluscan neurone to intra-somatic micro-iontophoresis of TEA+ is a periodic discharge of action potentials that bifurcates into doublet, triplet and bursting discharges, and then through regular, small amplitude oscillations to a depolarized steady state. This response pattern is explained by the presence of two TEA+-sensitive, K+-selective conductances: we conjecture that the maximal fast, transient K+-conductance
acts as the bifurcation parameter. |
