Welcome to Science With Tal!

In this clip of the Signal Propagation in the Neuron video, we will go over the voltage clamp apparatus and the different results we can get from it to better understand the underlying mechanisms of the action potential. You will see here and in the comment section the time stamps associated with each topic that I’ve covered.

Note that the graphs are not up to scale but the general shapes of the curves reflect the true behaviours of the variables in question.

To improve the quality of my content, I highly value the feedback from the viewer so do not hesitate to give any feedback in the comment section.
