Computations on a digital computer were made from the voltage clamp data obtained earlier in experiments on the myelinated nerve fiber of Xenopus laevis. Solutions were obtained for the situation where a membrane action potential was discharged. Graphs are presented showing the calculated action potential; permeability variables m, h, n and p; permeabilities PNa, Pk and Pp; membrane conductance G; ionic currents INa, IK, Ip and IL. Computations were further made for simple changes of the voltage-clamp data. The solutions are compared with recorded membrane action potentials. It is concluded that the voltage clamp data predict an action potential which agrees satisfactorily with recorded action potentials. Currents of an appreciable amplitude, others than those described in the voltage clamp analysis, are there-fore not required to explain the impulse activity in the myelinated nerve fiber.
