Abstract
Special purpose real-time analog computers are used to measure and control nerve membrane or current in a squid axon or a single frog node. Under current control, the membrane has a region of discontinuity and an action potential rather similar to that observed in normal impulse propagation. With control, the current pattern is a continuous function of the potential, and a negative resistance is found in the region of discontinuity for the current-controlled membrane. The membrane's electrical characteristics may therefore be compared with some two-terminal transistor switching circuits.
