Aortic Baroreceptors Display Higher Mechanosensitivity than Carotid Baroreceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
Arterial baroreceptors are mechanical sensors that detect blood pressure changes. It has long been suggested that the two arterial baroreceptors, aortic and carotid baroreceptors, have different pressure sensitivities.

Electrical signalling along the phloem and its physiological responses in the maize leaf

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
To elucidate the role of electrical signalling in the phloem of maize the tips of attached leaves were stimulated by chilling and wounding. Two different signals were detected in the phloem at the middle of the leaf using the aphid stylet technique: (i ...

Light-triggered action potentials in plants

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Special attention is paid in this paper to the criteria of the light-triggered action potential, namely the all-or-none law, propagation, the occurrence of refractory periods.

Augmented inhibition from cannabinoid sensitive interneurons diminishes CA1 output after traumatic brain injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The neurological impairments associated with traumatic brain injury include learning and memory deficits and increased risk of seizures. The hippocampus is critically involved in both of these phenomena and highly susceptible to damage by traumatic ...

Action Potential Recording and Pro-arrhythmia Risk Analysis in Human Ventricular Trabeculae

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
To assess drug-induced pro-arrhythmic risk, especially Torsades de Pointe (TdP), new models have been proposed, such as in-silico modeling of ventricular action potential (AP) and stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (SC-CMs).

A Mathematical Model of Spontaneous Action Potential Based on Stochastics Synaptic Noise Dynamics in Non-Neural Cells

open access: yesMathematics
We developed a mathematical model to simulate the dynamics of background synaptic noise in non-neuronal cells. By employing the stochastic Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, we represented excitatory synaptic conductance and integrated it into a whole-cell ...

Modulation of Spontaneous Action Potential Rate by Inositol Trisphosphate in Myocytes from the Rabbit Atrioventricular Node

open access: yesCells
The atrioventricular node (AVN) is a key component of the cardiac conduction system and takes over pacemaking of the ventricles if the sinoatrial node fails.

In action with action potentials

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract The subject of bioelectricity is for many life science students the first encounter with biophysics. The transfer of knowledge on electricity from the context of physics to the context of physiology is not without difficulty.
