Eletrophysiology of Membranes

• The Neuron

A quick review about the physiology of the neuron
• Lights, Camera, Action Potential!!

Basic text for lay persons, with some illustrations about the physiology of nerve cells, by Dr. Eric Chudler, in "Neuroscience for Kids"
• The Virtual Neurophysiology Lab

An on-line interactive lab, in Java, which allows the student to carry out virtual "experiments" with a leech's nervous system. Developed by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute
• MyFirstNEURON page

This is a simulation software for membrane phenomena and for learning the electrophysiology of the neuron. Developed by Arthur Houweling, The Salk Institute, La Jolla, EUA.
• The Nernst/Goldman Simulator

Excellent software for on-line simulation using Java. It permits the learning of the Nernst/Goldman law (resting membrane electrochemical equilibrium), and extensive experimentation. Developed by Steven Wright, Univ. Arizona, USA.
• The Membrane Potential

An extensive and in-depth text for learning the basic phenomena underlying the membrane potential, by Dr. Steven Wright (Univ. Arizona). Read the text then perform the experiments, using the Nernst/Goldman simulator.
• The Sodium Pump Calculator and the Nernst Equlibrium Potential Calculator

A set of two static simulations (equation solvers) with the aim of teaching membrane physiology, developed by T.M. Dwyer at the Dept. of Physiology, University of Mississipi at Jackson, MI, USA. See also the paper published on the American Journal of Physiology. There is also a number of lab exercises in the form of quizzes and a set of on-line slide shows.
• Methods in Neuronal Modeling : From Ions to Networks

A specialized book by Christof Kock and Idan Segev, Christof Koch, teaches how to simulate membrane phenomena, action potentials, neural networks, etc., using computers. Highly advanced, has mathematical models in basic neurobiology.
