Abstract

The electrophysiological properties of glial cells were examined in primary culture in the presence of tetraethylammonium and Ba 2+ , a treatment that reduces K + permeability of the membrane and enhances currents through voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channels. Under these conditions, glial cells showed both spontaneous action potentials and action potentials evoked by the injections of current. These responses appear to represent entry of Ba 2+ through Ca 2+ channels because they were resistant to tetrodotoxin but were blocked by Mn 2+ or Cd2+.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
