title: Cyclic AMP induces a voltage-dependent current in neurones of Aplysia californica.
abstract: A voltage-dependent inward current is elicited by intracellular application of cyclic AMP in some neurons of Aplysia. The current has a slow time course and is present only at potentials more depolarized than -30 mV. Two other methods of increasing cellular cyclic AMP (phosphodiesterase inhibitors and sodium fluoride activation of adenylate cyclase) also induce an inward current at depolarized potentials.
