Abstract: This lecture reviews some basic ideas from the theory of gated dipoles (S. Grossberg, Mathn. Biosci. 15 (1972), 253-285). The theory begins with the question: What is the simplest rule governing unbiased signal transmission between cells? The answer that the outgoing signal (T) should be directly proportional to the incoming signal (S) ignores the fact that transmission in mediated by a depletable chemical transmitter (z) which gates S.
