Emerging Roles of the Membrane Potential: Action Beyond the Action Potential
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Whilst the phenomenon of an electrical resting membrane potential (RMP) is a central tenet of biology, it is nearly always discussed as a phenomenon that facilitates the propagation of action potentials in excitable tissue, muscle, and nerve. However, as

An action potential initiation mechanism in distal axons for the control of dopamine release
Science, 2022 Information flow in neurons proceeds by integrating inputs in dendrites, generating action potentials near the soma, and releasing neurotransmitters from nerve terminals in the axon.

A Simple and Low-Cost, but Naturalistic Method for Introducing Students to Action Potentials
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2021 Current trends in science education recommend the complementary use of virtual and hands-on methods of teaching. In neurobiology, for instance, there is a plethora of virtual laboratories and simulators that can be readily combined with traditional ...

Resilience of compound action potential peaks to high‐frequency firing in the mouse optic nerve
Physiological Reports, 2023 Action potential conduction in axons triggers trans‐membrane ion movements, where Na+ enters and K+ leaves axons, leading to disruptions in resting trans‐membrane ion gradients that must be restored for optimal axon conduction, an energy dependent ...

Differences in Intersubject Early Readiness Potentials Between Voluntary and Instructed Actions
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Readiness potential (RP) is a slow negative electroencephalogram (EEG) potential prior to voluntary action and was first described by Kornhuber and Deecke (1965).
