Kinetics of agonist conductance changes during hyperpolarization at frog endplates

摘要

I was surprised to learn that my little 1974 paper on voltage jump relaxations of agonist-induced conductance changes at frog endplates is to be reprinted in the BJP Anniversary edition, since it is a paper that I, and the world, forgot. I think that it elicited only 3 reprint requests, far fewer than any of my other productions, however trivial. Nevertheless I harbour some affection for this sickly and stunted first-born, partly because it was my first paper, partly because it triggered (or at least symbolised) a series of professional and scientific accidents, and partly because the idea that it embodies still has interest.
