Abstract
The authors have agreed that this Chapter should not be an exhaustive compilation of all papers. Instead they intend to submit the essential modern knowledge necessary to neurobiologists working with peripheral nerve of frogs which, in their opinion, is an essential test object to develop the theoretical and experimental basis of the function of excitable membranes of vertebrates. They want, in particular, to present a chapter which in the future can be used to familiarize newcomers with the methods and theories used in this field. Since there is almost no work on unmyelinated amphibian fibers, the discussion is almost exclusively on myelinated nerve.
