It was shown in our previous paper (1) that protoveratrine and EDTA caused a remarkable increase in passive permeability of the membrane of brain slices to cations and this increase was completely prevented by so-called stabilizers such as cocaine and calcium ion. Protoveratrine and EDTA are known to be depolarizers (2) and the effects of these drugs on brain slices were considered to represent a model of natural excitation of the nerve cell membrane. An increase in respiration of brain slices… Expand
