| Comments | "For a neuron with a 200 MO input resistance (Hutcheon et al., 1996), and a -70 mV resting potential, generated by a K+ conductance with VK=-100mV and a smaller Na+ conductance with VNa=+50 mV, Eq. 4 shows that hydrolysis of 3.42×10^8 ATPs/s is needed to run the Na+/K+ pump to reverse the Na+ entry and K+ efflux (Figs. 2A and 3)." |
