Episodes
-
In this lecture, we discuss the history and diversity of neuroscience, and begin discussion of the ions responsible for electrical charge in the neuron.
-
Missing episodes?
-
Today we discuss the various patch clamp configurations, how to evaluate patch clamp data, and factors that influence ion current.
-
Continuation of our discussion of the molecular structure of ion channels.
-
We finish our look at the resting membrane potential, then begin to understand the voltage clamp method on our way to exploring the ionic currents associated with the action potential.
-
We discuss the ionic currents associated with the action potential, and their physical origin in the opening of voltage-gated channels.
-
We finish our discussion of the ion currents associated with the action potential, and go through some example exam questions for review.
-
We discuss the article, "The evolutionary origins of beneficial alleles tduring the repeated adaptation of garter snakes to deadly prey."
-
We begin section two of the course with a description of the cable properties of axons.
-
We continue discussion of the synapse.
