Abstract

Current fluctuation was observed for the first time in sensitized giant axons of squid. Fluctuating current was pulsive and its number increased monotonically as the membrane system approached itself to the state of self-sustained repetitive firing of action potentials. It has been concluded that the current fluctuation is originated not from ionic interdiffusion through the membrane but from macroscopic ion-flow. This is consistent to the existence of the time-ordered and spatially-organized structure which was previously confirmed in the state of self-sustained oscillation of action potentials.
