An effective method for the intracellular recording of repetitive action potential trains lasting several seconds in frog toe muscle fibers.
A technique is described for the reliable intracellular recording of repetitive action potentials in frogs' skeletal muscles kept in unmodified Ringer's solution. With this technique we were able to reliably record action potentials at frequencies up to 100 Hz with stimulus trains lasting up to 4 sec.
