Membrane properties of neuroglia in the optic nerve of Necturus

The optic nerve of Necturus has proved a useful preparation for the study of glial cell membranes in vivo and in vitro with anatomical relations to axons intact and isolated following axon degeneration. The glial membrane potential behaves as a selective potassium diffusion potential; there is no ev...
