Intensively interactive and no doubt blessed by the spirit of the squid who provided the original giant axon, this set simulates laboratory simulations in neurophysiology. With new tutorials introducing the channel types, single channel simulations and a redesigned interface, this version's moving graphs illustrate nerve functions in ways not possible with static methods. Students work through simulations of stationary signals including equilibrium potentials, voltage clamping in a path and those at the neuromuscular junction and signals that move, including the axon with or without myelin. Advanced tutorials cover more stationary signals, signals that navigate and cell phenomenon. Each simulation includes images and calculations as well as interactive text, and the workbook provided also gives readers a preview of what they will see and instructions on getting started.
