In this lesson you will learn about ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane, one of the key mechanisms underlying neuronal communication. 

Topics covered in this lesson
  • Patch-clamp recording of individual ion channels
  • Ion channel specificity. Ion transporters
  • Sample calculations on ion channel conductance, numbers of transported ions, and whole-cell currents
