On an early demonstration of the cell boundary theorem

The Journal of Physiological Sciences volume 63, page 161 (2013)Cite this article

Editors,

As stated in Prof. Friel’s letter, the paper by Friel and Tsien [1] includes a rigorous demonstration of what I recently called the cell boundary theorem [2].

I proposed the theorem to formalize an old idea, two early versions of which were cited as examples [2]. I regret that I missed the earlier formalism and demonstration.

I am also addressing all corresponding authors who have cited [2] to make them aware of the earlier work.
