Ionic Currents in Molluscan Soma
Abstract
The present understanding of nerve excitability is founded on voltage clamp studies of axonal membranes. It has become clear, however, that the excitability of neuronal somata (cell bodies), dendrites, and terminal regions involves processes substantially different from those evident in axons. Somata, for instance, can exhibit a variety of slow oscillatory firing patterns and long lasting aftereffects of activity that are not observed in axonal preparations. In addition, voltage dependent calcium currents may play a major role in nerve excitability everywhere except the axon, perhaps in connection with the widespread intracellular messenger role of this ion (e.g. excitation-secretion coupling). The giant somata of the gastropod molluscs have so far yielded the most fundamental insights into the mechanisms of the distinctive electrical activity of nonaxonal membrane. It is our purpose here to review these insights.

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.
