Summary
Membrane resting potentials (MRP) were measured systematically in cultured mouse N2A neuroblastoma cells: 1) in the logarithmic growth phase; 2) in subconfluent cultures; 3) in confluent cultures; 4) after dBcAMP had induced morphological differentiation. Neurite extension was accompanied by a significant increase in MRP as compared to the appropriate controls. No significant differences in MRP were observed with regard to the different growth phases.
