title = "Optical recordings of action potential of frog ventricle during cathodal and anodal stimulation",
abstract = "An optical fiber-based probe was developed which was coupled to a custom designed, portable fluorimeter for use with hearts stained with a voltage-sensitive fluorescent dye. Optical action potentials of frog hearts were measured in the surface layer directly underlying the stimulating electrode for cathodal and anodal square wave excitation. Both cathodal and anodal pulses were capable of eliciting action potentials and appear to activate depolarizing membrane currents. Results suggest that membrane biophysical models in a syncytial structure will be required for understanding cardiac membrane responses to field stimulation.",
