Show other versions (2)

This volume presents the most recent research findings on the key role played by Mg2+ in the regulation of ion channels in excitable tissue. Contributions describe the multiple actions exerted by Mg2+ on the different types on ion channels controlling nerve and cardiac cell activity. Recent developm...
