Lecture

The action potential

Description

This lecture covers the Hodgkin and Huxley model for ion conductance, focusing on the ionic basis of the action potential. It explains the activation and inactivation mechanisms of potassium and sodium channels, as well as the initiation and propagation of the action potential.
