A series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fiber of the squid (ibid., vol. 109, pp. 240-249; vol. 116, pp. 424-506) is concluded. It discusses the results of the preceding papers, puts them into mathematical form, and shows how they can account for conduction and excitation in quantitative terms. The voltage clamp data obtained previously are used to find equations which describe the changes in Na and K conductance associated with an alteration of membrane potential. The parameters in these equations were detd. by fitting solns. to the exptl. curves relating Na and K conductance to time at various membrane potentials. The responses of an isolated giant axon to electrical stimuli are probably due to reversible alterations in Na and K permeability arising from changes in membrane potential.
