Description

Stimulate a neuron and monitor what happens. Pause, rewind, and move forward in time in order to observe the ions as they move across the neuron membrane.

Sample Learning Goals

• Describe why ions can or cannot move across neuron membranes.
• Identify leakage and gated channels, and describe the function of each.
• Describe how membrane permeability changes in terms of different types of channels in a neuron.
• Describe the sequence of events that generates an action potential.
