Regulatory Evolution and Voltage-Gated Ion Channel Expression in Squid Axon: Selection-Mutation Balance and Fitness Cliffs

It has been suggested that optimization of either axonal conduction velocity or the energy efficiency of action potential conduction predominates in the selection of voltage-gated sodium conductance levels in the squid axon. A population genetics model of channel gene regulatory function was used to...
