Membrane potential dynamics
Action potentials (excitability)
Hodkin huxley discovered there 2 currnets in action potentials
peaks at Na becomes given a voltage and also where I will eventually steady given voltage
Na+, early inward current
the 2 blips at +70 and +90 mv are evoke at volatges above nerst potential
K+ , delayed outward current
separation and subtraction of ionic currents
slope g / E is equilib / current is dep on driving force (E--> eq disparity / once cross x, start leaving cell vs entering / there's a curve when whntering is highly pref
perisistent
actiavtion by depolarization
I Kv
I CaV depolarization activated Ca2+ current
activation by hyperpolarization
inward recitfying potassium current Kir
physiological range
Ih or Isag
delayed-reticifier
I potassium - DR = conductance m^n (Driving force)
membrane bistability
3 times interescts x axis, current is 0
currents on either eside of the 2 steady states are resorative (positive conductance) an perturbation would restore to Ek. membrane would fall back down unless you reach threshold
stable at 2 different Vs and a transient current can switch you between the two
transient (happens when inactivate)
I T
shifting Iapp can chahnge stabilities
hyteresis
state stapcs vs parameter (Iapp)= bifurfaction diagram
3 points at which intersect
equal and opposite so cancel out
restoraive restorative
regernative regernative
mathematically stable unrealistic because system cant maintain like a pen standing upright
restorative e
capacitive transient
I ion - Activation of K+ current
when voltage back -10 --> -70, low driving force because ion channels decativate
m∞
Na+ activation
deactivation- falls back to 0 state bc evoked stimulus is removed
voltage dependant rate constant
α: closed --> open
β : open --> closed
gating variable (m)
(1-m) ⇌ m
m[0,1]
How close is M to its steady state value?
How fast is scaled by time constast (big-slow vv)

dm/dt = α(1-m) - βm

dx/dt = a + bx
dc/dt = j - kc
Cdv/dt = I app - gk ( V - Ek)

zV/Vθ
vθ = RT/F
for Na+
reversal potential = nernst potential
where current reverses
ratio defines amount of retification
opposite for K+ and flip out and in anions
inwardly rectifying K+ potassium current

[S]out
predicts non lineariity bc mutiple variables inviolved
ions move because diffsion and drift (C and electromotove)
Vm = φin - φout

Goldman hodkin katz (ghk) voltage equatoion
assume Pcl<<< PK (we did same for Ca++)
α = PNa/PK
a<<<1 and so [Na]i<<<[K]i therfore

^ f(x) on y and state variable x on x axis
(derivative as a function of underived function)
idenitfy critical points, cross at x axis is css
determine stability by lookin at a fllow directions
preturb off its xss: n = x -x*
dn/dt= d/dt (x-x*)= f(x) - f(x*)
dn/dt = f(x) - 0
= f(x) = f(x* + n)
via expansion taylor
dn/dy = f(x*) + nf'(x*) + O(n²)
= 0 + nf' (x*) + 0
derivative of f(x*) is not 0 bc this is f''
