In this lesson you will learn about the ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model. 

This lesson provides an introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.

This lesson covers membrane potential of neurons, and how parameters around this potential have direct consequences on cellular communication at both the individual and population level. 

This lesson covers the spatiotemporal dynamics of the membrane potential.

In this lesson you will learn about neurons' ability to generate signals called action potentials, and biophysics of voltage-gated ion channels.

This lesson discusses voltage-gating kinetics of sodium and potassium channels.

In this lesson, you will learn about the ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.

This lesson delves into the specifics of how action potentials propagate through individual neurons.

In this lesson, you will learn about neurotransmitter release in the presynaptic specialization.

This lesson covers synaptic modulation through diffusing neurotransmitters.

This lecture gives an overview of glutamatergic transmission.

This lesson discusses glutamate release after an action potential, and the resulting post-synaptic potentials. 

In this lesson, you will learn about glutamatergic excitatory neuronal circuits.

This lesson gives an overview of neurons' dendritic spines and their function.

This lecture provides an introduction GABAergic inhibition and its receptors.

This lesson takes a closer look at GABA_A receptor mediated fast inhibition.

This lecture focuses on how benzodiazepines act on GABA_A receptors.

This lesson discusses long-range inhibitory connections in the brain, with examples from three different systems.

In this lesson, you will learn about GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

This lecture provides an overview of some of the essential concepts in neuropharmacology (e.g. receptor binding, agonism, antagonism), an introduction to pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and an overview of the drug discovery process relative to diseases of the central nervous system.
