... hyperpolarizing currents. We suggest that the properties of the inward sodium and outward potassium currents permit high frequency firing in response to a pulsatile depolarizing input of the kind expected in fast swimming, whilst safeguarding against tetany during a strong depolarization.

... recordings from cultured cells revealed that these cells possess a variety of ionic currents, including a fast transient sodium current, a calcium current and several potassium currents. The sodium current does not inactivate completely but instead decays to a steady-state component which has the same...
