- Membrane voltage acts as a coarse-grained parameter subsuming many ion channel combinations.finding0.740Cells generalize over ion channel microstates via macrovariable Vmem, enabling repurposing of responses for novel stimuli.
- Electrical signals that plants display, propagating along vascular networks, analogous to animal neural signals.
