This article focuses on single-cell electrophysiology and introduces the fundamentals of electrophysiological investigation by describing the ionic basis of action potentials and the different ...

Graded synapses transmit information encoded by presynaptic neurons or sensory receptor cells that do not fire action potentials (APs). They have been found in many species, including mammals, and ...

Action potential broadening had a time constant of 2.3 s with depolarization of the soma, whereas hyperpolarization of the soma shortened axonal action potentials, also with a slow time course (τ ...

The body contains various types of nerve cells, including graded neurons that encode information through continuous changes in membrane potential, allowing subtle and precise signal processing.
