Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Essentials of Modern Neuroscience AB - ObjectivesAfter studying this chapter, the student should be able to:Understand the phospholipid structure of neural membranes and the protein complexes therein that compose ion channels and transporters.Know how the Na+/K+ ATP pump creates the ionic basis for the neural resting potential and electrical responses to stimulation.Understand how the Nernst potential calculates the balance between the tendency for ions to traverse the membrane due to concentration differences versus the tendency to move via electrical potential across the membrane.See that the neuron can be modeled as an equivalent electrical circuit composed of batteries derived from ionic concentration differences across the membrane and variable resistors capturing the action of ion channels.Understand how the action potential is created by the opening and closing of voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels.Understand the absolute and relative refractory periods of the action potential.See why action potentials are necessary for long-distance neural potential propagation.
