Clusters of cooperative ion channels enable a membrane-potential-based mechanism for short-term memory

Across biological systems, cooperativity between proteins enables fast actions, supra-linear responses, and long-lasting molecular switches. In the nervous system, however, the function of cooperative interactions between voltage-dependent ionic channels remains largely unknown. Based on mathematica...
