pubmed:abstractText |
For many years, membrane potential (Vm) and input resistance have been used to characterize the electrophysiological nature of a seal (barrier) that forms at the cut end of a transected axon or other extended cytoplasmic structure. Data from a mathematical and an analog model of a transected axon and other theoretical considerations show that steady-state values of Vm and input resistance measured from any cable-like structure provide a very equivocal assessment of the electrical barrier (seal) at the cut end. Extracellular assessments of injury currents almost certainly provide a better electrophysiological measure of the status of plasma membrane sealing because measurements of these currents do not depend on the cable properties of extended cytoplasmic processes after transection.
