Randomized trial investigates voltage clamp effects on current in lobster giant axons, suggesting similarities to squid and frog axons.

This research aims to compare current-voltage relations in lobster giant axons under voltage clamp conditions to those in squid and frog axons.
Utilized the sucrose-gap method for voltage clamping of lobster giant axons.
Analyzed peak initial current and steady-state current in response to varied external calcium concentrations.
Compared findings with historical data from squid axons and frog nodes.
Steady-state slope conductance in lobster axons is less than peak initial current.
Calcium reduction shifts current-voltage relations similarly to the squid axon.

Julian et al. (1962) studied this question.
