It can be used to measure the thermally stimulated depolarization of molecules within a material. One method of doing so is to place the material between two electrodes, cool the material in the presence of an external electric field, remove the field once a desired temperature has been reached, and measure the current between the electrodes as ...
Laser stimulation highlights differences in thermal characteristics between areas containing defects and areas which are defect-free. As the laser locally heats a defective area on a metal line which is carrying a current , the resulting resistance changes can be detected by monitoring the input current to the device.
When an event occurs which causes the bundle of cilia to deflect toward the taller side, ion channels open, and the inward current causes a depolarization of the cell. This is known as a positive deflection. This process involves the stretching of tip links, which pull the ion channels open.
Possibly resulting from the depolarization of the S 4 segments and the little time given for inactivation. For long duration DPP's the III and IV domains of the sodium channels (discussed above) are given more time to bind with their respective channel pores, thus the threshold current is observed to increase with an increasing DPP duration.

In other words, it represents the slope of the membrane voltage at the beginning of the stimulation. [ 8 ] Following McNeal's [ 9 ] simplifications for long fibers of an ideal internode membrane, with both membrane capacity and conductance assumed to be 0 the differential equation determining the membrane potential V m {\displaystyle V^{m}} for ...
Depolarization increases the Na + current through the persistent channels, resulting in a lower rheobase; hyperpolarization has the opposite effect. The strength-duration time constant increases with demyelination, as the exposed membrane is enlarged by inclusion of paranodal and internodal membrane.
The way that the stimulation changes brain function is either by causing the neuron’s resting membrane potential to depolarize or hyperpolarize. When positive stimulation (anodal tDCS) is delivered, the current causes a depolarization of the resting membrane potential, which increases neuronal excitability and allows for more spontaneous cell ...
Thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy (not to be confused with thermally stimulated depolarization current) is an experimental technique which is used to study energy levels in semiconductors or insulators (organic or inorganic). Energy levels are first filled either by optical or electrical injection usually at a relatively low ...
