The mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca2+ oscillations in smooth muscle [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2008 Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria might both modulate the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) and depolarize the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) to limit ATP production. To investigate how physiological Ca2+ signaling might affect energy production, ΔΨm was examined during Ca2+ oscillations in smooth muscle cells.

Neuronal oscillations enhance stimulus discrimination by ensuring action potential precision.
PLoS Biology, 2006 Although oscillations in membrane potential are a prominent feature of sensory, motor, and cognitive function, their precise role in signal processing remains elusive.

Periodic Membrane Potential and Ca2+ Oscillations in T Cells Forming an Immune Synapse
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 The immunological synapse (IS) is a specialized contact area formed between a T cell and an antigen presenting cell (APC). Besides molecules directly involved in antigen recognition such as the TCR/CD3 complex, ion channels important in the membrane ...

The relationship between respiration-related membrane potential slow oscillations and discharge patterns in mitral/tufted cells: what are the rules? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A slow respiration-related rhythm strongly shapes the activity of the olfactory bulb. This rhythm appears as a slow oscillation that is detectable in the membrane potential, the respiration-related spike discharge of the mitral/tufted cells and the ...

Action Potential: A Vortex Phenomena; Driving Membrane Oscillations [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2020 Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model has been one of the most successful electrical interpretation of nerve membrane which led to revolutions in the field of computational neuroscience. On the contrary, experimental observations indicate that, an Action Potential (AP) is accompanied with certain physiological changes in the nerve membrane such as, production and ...
