Re-establishing the ion equilibrium after an action potential requires energy.
Now, the reading from the EEG machines that are connected to the scalp are actually the activity from maybe just a few hundred or maybe a few million of these neurons, but the action potential of the electromagnetic activity is strong enough for the machine to actually read these readings post synaptic.
These electrodes are not sensitive enough to detect individual action potentials, but can detect the simultaneous action potentials in large numbers of neurons.
A shorter action potential, a reduced action potential prolongation in response to E-4031 and a reduced reactivation of I(Ca,L) by omega-3-PUFAs may explain the observed reduction in EADs.
