Description:
In the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia, a burst of action potentials in peptide-secreting neuroendocrine cells, the bag cells, produces slow inhibition of two identified bursting pacemaker neurons. The inhibition is due to slow hyperpolarizing potential that reduces bursting pacemaker activity for 3 hours or more. The slow inhibitory potential results from a large and prolonged increase in membrane conductance to potassium ions as well as a slower ionic process that is relatively independent of membrane conductance.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brownell, P -- Mayeri, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Apr 27;204(4391):417-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/35827" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
