Membranes with the Same Ion Channel Populations but Different Excitabilities
Electrical signaling allows communication within and between different tissues and is necessary for the survival of multicellular organisms. The ionic transport that underlies transmembrane currents in cells is mediated by transporters and channels. Fast ionic transport through channels is typically modeled with a conductance-based formulation that describes current in terms of electrical drift...
متن کاملSame ion channel populations and different excitabilities: beyond the conductance-based model
Multicellular organisms rely on electrical signaling to communicate messages within and between different tissues. Channel-mediated ionic transport is typically modeled with conductance-based formulations that assume currents are the result of ionic electrical drift, without taking diffusion into consideration [1]. In contrast, formulations of current that assume ionic flux depends on electrica...
متن کاملThe same, but different
The Dutch healthcare sector has seen many major changes lately: the introduction of a new health insurance scheme, a shift from supply-based healthcare to a demand-based system and a trend towards increasingly assertive patients. This requires a new approach to the education and training of future doctors. How is this approach implemented in practice and how do the changes affect medical studen...
متن کاملDual Theories: ‘Same But Different’ or ‘Different But Same’?
I argue that, under the glitz, dual theories are examples of theoretically equivalent descriptions of the same underlying physical content: I distinguish them from cases of genuine underdetermination on the grounds that there is no real incompatibility involved between the descriptions. The incompatibility is at the level of unphysical structure. I argue that dual pairs are in fact very strongl...
متن کاملSame same but different: the case of olfactory imagery
In the present work we present an overview of experimental findings corroborating olfactory imagery observations with the visual and auditory modalities. Overall, the results indicate that imagery of olfactory information share many features with those observed in the primary senses although some major differences are evident. One such difference pertains to the considerable individual differen...
