Resting Membrane Potential - Action Potential in Neurons - Neurology
Offered By: Dr. Najeeb Lectures via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricacies of neuronal communication in this comprehensive 2-hour 25-minute lecture on resting membrane potential and action potential in neurons. Delve into the mechanisms behind neuronal signaling, including the role of Na-K ATPase, voltage-gated channels, and neurotransmitters. Examine the differences between local and action potentials, understand the refractory period and accommodation phenomena, and learn about factors affecting action potential velocity. Compare myelinated and unmyelinated axons, discovering the process of saltatory conduction. Gain insights into clinical correlations with conditions like Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis. Perfect for medical students and neuroscience enthusiasts seeking an in-depth understanding of neuronal physiology.
