From: Octopamine increases the excitability of neurons in the snail feeding system by modulation of inward sodium current but not outward potassium currents

Figure 3

Reversal of the outward current in the B1 motoneuron. A. Following a 400 ms step to +15 mV, activating the outward current, the voltage was stepped down and the amplitude of the tail current measured immediately upon settling. Upper trace: voltage clamp output, lower trace current. B. The tail current is approximately linear with voltage between -80 and -40 mV, with some rectification, and reverses at -70 mV. In 4 replicate preparations, the mean reversal potential was -67 ± 2.6 mV.
