Abstract
Many excitable cells are specialized to promote Ca2+ influx at early s tages of development. This article focuses an spontaneous fluctuations of intracellular Ca2+ that are observed during this period. Removal o f Ca2+ or suppression of influx alters subsequent differentiation. Thu s these signals appear to regulate aspects of early maturation.
