Activity-Dependent Fluctuations in Interstitial [K<sup>+</sup>]: Investigations Using Ion-Sensitive Microelectrodes

In the course of action potential firing, all axons and neurons release K<sup>+</sup> from the intra- cellular compartment into the interstitial space to counteract the depolarizing effect of Na<sup>+</sup> influx, which restores the resting membrane potential. This efflux of...
