Lecture

Membrane potential: Cellular mechanisms

Description

This lecture covers the concept of membrane potential, including the Nernst equilibrium potential and ion concentrations. It explains equilibrium potentials, the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation, and the electrical equivalent of a cell. The lecture also discusses how ion conductances determine the membrane potential and the impact of ion channels on the membrane potential.
