Illig Neurobiology Spring 2013

We continue discussion of the cable properties of axons, and begin discussion of the synapse.

We begin section two of the course with a description of the cable properties of axons.

We discuss the article, "The evolutionary origins of beneficial alleles tduring the repeated adaptation of garter snakes to deadly prey."

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 ionic currents associated with the action potential, and their physical origin in the opening of voltage-gated 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.

Wrapping up the molecular structure of ion channels, then a first look at how ions set the resting membrane potential.

Continuation of our discussion of the molecular structure of ion channels.

Today we discuss the factors that influence ion current, talk more in detail about the Nernst Equation, and begin our discussion of the molecular structure of ion channels.

Today we discuss the various patch clamp configurations, how to evaluate patch clamp data, and factors that influence ion current.

In this lecture, we discuss the history and diversity of neuroscience, and begin discussion of the ions responsible for electrical charge in the neuron.

Welcome!
