| Abstract | Potassium currents were recorded from voltage-clamped nodes of isolated, myelinated axons of Rana pipiens. Nodes were maintained in a modified Ringer solution containing tetrodotoxin to block sodium current and 47.5 mM-potassium to minimize effects of extracellular potassium accumulation. Voltage protocols included depolarizing pulses lasting a few milliseconds to several seconds. Fluctuations about the ensemble average of the current were characterized in terms of non-stationary variance and autocovariance. The fluctuations had a Gaussian amplitude distribution and were virtually free of contaminations from systematic variations of the membrane current. Corrections for background noise were based on measurements done while potassium current was blocked with tetraethylammonium, and on simulations of extrinsic current fluctuations expected to arise from noise in the actual membrane voltage. The fluctuations were attributed to variations of nodal potassium conductance, since they were absent at the reversal potential of the potassium current and at membrane voltages that do not activate potassium current. Covariances indicated that voltage steps that reversed a macroscopic potassium current also reversed the sign of the fluctuation. Plots of the conductance variance versus the mean potassium conductance were generated from both the activation and deactivation (tail) phases of the potassium currents at various voltages between -80 and +70 mV. When the current was activated by a small depolarization (-50 mV) the trajectories from both phases were indistinguishable and were fitted by the parabola expected for a single population of channels with only one open-channel conductance. Apparent single-channel conductance from the early activation phase averaged 24 pS and was not significantly voltage dependent. In contrast, experiments with large depolarizations (+10 to +70 mV) gave significantly different variance--mean trajectories during activation and deactivation and these trajectories were poorly fitted by parabola. This result indicates that the fluctuations reflect several populations of channels and/or a population of channels that can have several levels of non-zero conductance. Projections of the fluctuation covariance showed long correlations, as well as the rapidly decaying component expected from the activation gating of channels. A slow fluctuation arose at a time slightly later than the rise of potassium current, spanned the entire length of brief depolarizations, and extended up to 880 ms during long depolarizations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
