DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.097
Abstract: Electrical signaling in the nervous system relies on action potential generation, propagation and transmission. Such processes rely on precisely timed events associated with voltage-dependent ion channel conformational transitions between the closed, open and inactivated states,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.20.01400
Abstract: Electrical signals or action potentials are present in animals, plants, and other organisms such as single-celled diatoms ([Moran et al., 2015][1]; [Hedrich et al., 2016][2]; [Helliwell et al., 2019][3]). Electrical signals are short-lived, locally restricted… read more here.
