[Theoretical analysis of an experiment with motor neuron voltage clamping. Proof of the N-shape of the steady-state volt-ampere characteristic of the dendrite membrane].

Current--voltage relation (I--V) in motoneurons [6] is discussed on the basis of the hypothesis [1] about N-shaped steady-state I--V for the dendritic membrane. A spontaneous discharge of motorneurons after clamp-off is interpreted as direct evidence in favour of the hypothesis. Some indirect evidence and possible ways for further testing of the hypothesis are also presented.
