This lecture covers the modeling of the electrical activity in neurons, focusing on the origin of electrical activity related to membrane ion channels and ion concentrations. It explains the Nernst equation, equivalent electrical circuits, and conductance equations for resting potential, emphasizing the role of Na+, K+, and Cl- ions. The lecture concludes by discussing the generation of major electrical signals in neurons, such as spikes and synaptic potentials.
