On the mechanism of spiking and bursting in excitable cells.

A mathematical model previously developed to explain beta-cell membrane potential oscillations has been modified to accommodate the external variation of K+, Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations. Our model, which is applicable to excitable cells, incorporates the barrier kinetics. Hodgkin-Huxley-type gating mechanism, and an electrogenic Na+-K+ pump. Numerical solutions of our model are in agreement with many of the experimental results reported in the literature on excitable cells.
