Description:
The spontaneous rhythmic activity of aggregates of embryonic chick heart cells was perturbed by the injection of single current pulses and periodic trains of current pulses. The regular and irregular dynamics produced by periodic stimulation were predicted theoretically from a mathematical analysis of the response to single pulses. Period-doubling bifurcations, in which the period of a regular oscillation doubles, were predicted theoretically and observed experimentally.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guevara, M R -- Glass, L -- Shrier, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 18;214(4527):1350-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7313693" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
