Figure FHN: To mimick the action potential, the FitzHugh–Nagumo model and its relatives use a function g(V) with negative differential resistance (a negative slope on the I vs. V plot). For comparison, a normal resistor would have a positive slope, by Ohm's law I = GV, where the conductance G is the inverse of resistance G=1/R.
In accordance with the preceding findings, it has been stated that oral doses of CPA of at least 300 mg/day may achieve a combined androgen blockade action in the treatment of prostate cancer. [70] At a dosage of CPA of 100 mg/day in men with prostate cancer, circulating levels of CPA (e.g., 350 ng/mL) are on the order of 200-fold higher than ...
I to1 is active during phase 1, causing a fast repolarization of the action potential. The cardiac transient outward potassium current (referred to as I to1 or I to [1]) is one of the ion currents across the cell membrane of heart muscle cells. It is the main contributing current during the repolarizing phase 1 of the cardiac action potential.

Image of a myocardial action potential. Effective refractory period in green. In electrocardiography, during a cardiac cycle, once an action potential is initiated, there is a period of time that a new action potential cannot be initiated.
The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) or compound motor action potential is an electrodiagnostic medicine investigation (electrical study of muscle function). The CMAP idealizes the summation of a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area.
At the peak of the action potential, when enough Na + has entered the neuron and the membrane's potential has become high enough, the Na + channels inactivate themselves by closing their inactivation gates. The inactivation gate can be thought of as a "plug" tethered to domains III and IV of the channel's intracellular alpha subunit.
Alike individual action potentials, CAP waveforms are typically biphasic presenting a negative and positive peak. The morphological attributes of the CAP (amplitude, spread, latency) depend on various factors including electrode placement, stimulus intensity, number of fibers recruited, the synchronization of action potentials, and conduction ...
