Properties of Successive Action Potentials

Caption

Properties of two successive action potentials within a burst at 8 mM Glucose. (Top) Time-dependent changes of the instantaneous equilibrium or "lead" potential VL (red) and Vm (black). (Bottom) Time-dependent changes in contributions (c) of ICaV, IKDr, IKCa(BK) and INaCa. The c of other currents were also plotted in the diagram, but are barely visible because of their minor contributions. The time scale of the x-axis is 40 s.
