title: Characterization and decomposition of voltage-activated ionic currents using a fitting numerical method.
abstract: The application of a computer-based numerical method for fast determination of the kinetic parameters of voltage-activated ionic currents is described. Currents with different kinetics and ionic backgrounds are fitted satisfactorily with Hodgkin-Huxley-like functions, and multicomponent currents are decomposed. The method offers a way to separate ionic-current components without pharmacological isolation.
