Morphological and physiological properties of neurons and glial cells in tissue culture.
Walther Hild,Ichiji Tasaki +1 more
TL;DR: The first half of the present paper deals with the results of observations on the neuron soma and the dendrite and with a comparison of electrophysiological properties of neurons with those of neuroglial cells and of macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
New measurements of the capacity and the resistance of the myelin sheath and the nodal membrane of the isolated frog nerve fiber.
TL;DR: The physical constants of the myelin sheath were measured by recording the current that passes through this membrane when two nerve impulses collide at the internode under investigation, which makes the spatial distribution of the potential inside the myelinated sheath uniform and increases the accuracy of the measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action currents in single afferent nerve fibres elicited by stimulation of the skin of the toad and the cat.
TL;DR: With this technique it is easy to record sensory discharges in single nerve fibres which develop overwhelmingly large action potentials or in fibres with especially low threshold for sensory stimuli, but it is extremely difficult to explore the behaviour of nerve endings which on stimulation give rise to a limited number of smallaction potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
MODIFICATION OF COCHLEAR MICROPHONICS AND ACTION POTENTIALS BY KCl SOLUTION AND BY DIRECT CURRENTS
Ichiji Tasaki,César Fernández +1 more
TL;DR: The results show very clearly that the basal turn of the cochlea generates cochlear microphonics in response to both high and low-frequency sound stimuli, whereas in the apical part high-frequencysound stimuli, applied through the external auditory meatus, do not give any response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Monovalent-Divalent Cation Exchange on the Swelling of Polyacrylate Hydrogels in Physiological Salt Solutions
TL;DR: Experimental data indicate that transition metal cations modify both the elastic and mixing components of the free energy, while alkaline earthMetal cations affect primarily the mixing term.
