Abstract
The response of the node of Ranvier can be prolonged up to 5 to 6 seconds by addition to the medium of minute amounts of certain metal ions. This prolongation involves a change from a triangular to a rectangular configuration. The properties of the prolonged nerve-fiber responses are very similar to those of heart muscle.Keywords
