MECHANISMS OF DIRECT AND NEURAL EXCITABILITY IN ELECTROPLAQUES OF ELECTRIC EEL

1. Current flow outward through the caudal, reactive membrane of the cell causes direct stimulation of the electroplaque. The electrical response in denervated as well as in normal preparations recorded with internal microelectrodes is first local and graded with the intensity of the stimulus. When...
