Description

This lecture covers the propagation of action potentials along axons, modeling the membrane as an electrical circuit, conductance and voltage gating, and the cable equation to understand membrane potential propagation. It also discusses the diffusion equation for passive propagation, the behavior of ionic currents, and the encoding of input/output signals through action potential trains.
