In this lecture, we discuss the history and diversity of neuroscience, and begin discussion of the ions responsible for electrical charge in the neuron.
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.
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 article, "The evolutionary origins of beneficial alleles tduring the repeated adaptation of garter snakes to deadly prey."
