In the neurogenic heart of the isopod crustacean Porcellio dilatatus, external K+ removal depolarized the membrane (K0 effect) whereas subsequent restoration of K+ resulted in a rapid hyperpolarization (K1 effect). 2. The amplitude of the K1 effect depended on the duration of the prior K+ deprivation and on the subsequent K+ concentration. 3. The membrane resistance slightly increased during...
