Abstract
Ionic currents from individual K+ channels in squid axon membrane were recorded. At hyperpolarizing membrane voltages, unit events occur as widely spaced rectangular pulses with short interruptions. The frequency of occurrence of the units increases strongly when the membrane is depolarized.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
