Biophysical Study of Nerve Axon.

Abstract

This report summarizes research on the following topics: Resting Potential in Squid Giant Axon--Evidence against the diffusion potential hypothesis; Pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Squid Giant Axon; Studies of Na23 Nuclei in Skeletal Muscle by Fast Fourier Transform NMR and Spin-Echo NMR; Ion Competition Between Na(+) and K(+) Ions in the Pathway of Early Conductance (i.e., Na(+) Channel) in Squid Giant Axon; and Kinetics of Early Current and Its Concentration Dependency--Development of a TTX (Tetrodotoxin)-subtraction method.
