By the end of this module, you should be able to: Describe the basic cellular components of the nervous system. Describe the properties of membranes that contribute to the membrane potential Explain the action potential in terms of membrane potential, current and ion channel function, and ion concentration Describe how passive membrane properties play a role in action potential propagation Describe the importance of myelin and explain signaling dysfunction seen in Multiple Sclerosis Describe the process of chemical synaptic transmission Explain how ion channels and receptors contribute to neuronal signaling and communication within networks Explain how NMDA receptors contribute to synaptic plasticity Explain how synaptic plasticity relates to memory Describe how memory is stored in the brain and how plasticity relates to brain volume Describe brain structures related to memory and lesions that contribute to various types of amnesia Consider the implications of epilepsy in memory loss
