Action Potential Energy Efficiency Varies Among Neuron Types in Vertebrates and Invertebrates
The initiation and propagation of action potentials (APs) places high demands on the energetic resources of neural tissue. Each AP forces ATP-driven ion pumps to work harder to restore the ionic concentration gradients, thus consuming more energy. Here, we ask whether the ionic currents underlying t...
