Lecture on the most important concepts in software engineering

2nd part of the lecture. This lecture will discuss how understanding and applying simple neuroanatomical rules, one can localize the damage along the neuroaxis, the first crucial step toward making the correct clinical diagnosis and initiating treatment.

The ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin Huxley model. 

Introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.
