Changes in intracellular pressure in squid giant axons associated with production of action potentials.
In squid giant axons, a brief rise and fall in intracellular pressure that was concomitant with the action potential was detected by using a glass-fiber device. The amplitude of the pressure change was about 1 mPa.
