The discovery of the action potential
Trends in Neurosciences, 1983Abstract Beginning in the early eighteenth century, biologists and physicists alike strove to find a link between electricity and nervous function. Luigi Galvani took the first step by demonstrating the presence of electricity in animal tissues. Over the next half-century, others went on to show that nerve and muscle tissues generate electrical ...

Propagation of the Action Potential
2012This chapter describes how the action potential moves along axons and how the velocity of this movement depends on the size and myelination of the axon. The velocity of action potential propagation depends solely on the time required to reach threshold at points distant from excitation.

Neurons need to communicate over long distances. This is accomplished by electrical signals, or action potentials, that propagate along the axon. We have seen that linear cables cannot transmit information very far; neural signals are able to reach long distances because there exist voltage-gated channels in the cell membrane.

The generation of the action potential is important from the point of pure scientific curiosity as well as from the medical point of view where pathological defects of action potential propagation are to be understood and treated. Experiments conducted by Hodgkin and Huxley in the mid-twentieth century lay the foundation of biophysical models of nerve ...

Bioelectrical Action Potentials [PDF]
, 1970 In this section we will examine bioelectrical potentials generated by various tissues from various animals. Moreover, all will be examples of phasic potentials, representing excitable tissues in a state of activity. The experiments have been selected to remind the reader that the occurrence of bioelectrical potentials is widespread, both in terms of ...

Potential Mechanisms of Action
1999Triple helix forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) are oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide analogs that can participate in triple-helical nucleic acid complexes. Because of their potential sequence-selectivity, rational mechanisms can be conceived for application of these agents to the artificial regulation of target nucleic acids in molecular or cellular ...
