In a paper on the electrical potential across a copper-ferrocyanide gel membrane, Wilhelm Ostwald suggested that a similar potential represents the electrical potentials of living tissues. Julius Bernstein, a student of Helmholtz, took this suggestion and developed it into the membrane theory of cellular electrical potentials. In this theory, he assumed that the cell membrane is permeable to K but not to anions and Na" ". He also postulated that during an action potential there is a transient local increase of membrane permeability. ...
