Don’t Be Nervous About the Nervous System


Listen Later

Struggling to keep the nervous system straight—or just worried you’ll blank on that -70 mV resting potential? 🧠 In this episode, Mike & Molly break down EVERY high-yield concept the AAMC loves to test—from CNS vs PNS and “fight-or-flight” pathways to action potentials, neurotransmitters, and real-world drug tie-ins like lidocaine, SSRIs, and Botox.

Why watch?

- Highest-yield system on the MCAT (Molly’s tip @ 7:21)

- Walkthrough of neurons, myelin, action-potential phases, refractory periods & Nodes of Ranvier

- Quick-hit mnemonics (3 → 2 → 1 No Ki A) and clinical correlates to lock in recall

- Neurotransmitter cheat-sheet: ACh, Epi/NE, dopamine, GABA, glutamate & more

- “Real Life Applications” so the biophysics actually sticks
