Whole cell patch clamping is a widely applied method to record currents across the entire membrane of a cell. This protocol describes application of this method to record currents from the sensory inner hair cells in the ...

OBJECTIVE: Ion channels play important roles in epithelial transport, but they are difficult to access for conventional electrophysiologic studies in intact placenta. The purpose of this work was to explore the suitability ...

Solenoid valves are a core component of most solution perfusion systems used in neuroscience research. As they open and close, they control the flow of solution through each perfusion line, thereby modulating the timing ...

The aim of this work was to study gender differences on the physiology of the dimorphic brachial musculature involved in the clasp reflex of the toad (Bufo marinus L.). the neuromuscular transmission, the sensitivity to ...

Ionic fluxes play a key role in the activation of respiration and motility, in chemotaxis, and in the acrosome reaction of sea urchin spermatozoa, and therefore in fertilization. There is growing evidence that ion channels ...

El clamp de tensión es una técnica empleada en el campo de la electrofisiología, para realizar el estudio del comportamiento de los canales iónicos. El estudio de estos canales es de vital importancia dentro del campo ...

The approximate solution for the title problem is obtained in the case of simply supported and clamped rectangular plates made of isotropic or orthotropic materials. A variational approach (the well known Rayleigh-Ritz ...
