The potassium-induced stimulation of oxygen consumption in brain slices has a threshold value of 15-20 mM potassium, and it reaches its maximum at 35-50 mM. Although this phenomenon now has been known for almost 50 years, its physiological role remains undetermined. One reason for this may be that t
