Model predicts limiting conditions for distant (non-CNS) HCN2 channel-mediated rescue of membrane voltage prepattern in nicotine-exposed embryos. (A–F) Simulations from a physiological model of neurulating Xenopus embryo as detailed in Supplementary Figures S1–S3. Maroon color represents the region of polarized membrane voltage. Purple color represents the region of depolarized membrane voltage. The pattern in (A) is analogous to the membrane voltage pattern seen in Xenopus embryos with voltage reporter dyes (Pai et al., 2015b).
