Document Summary
Recorded lectures come to class participation is graded. Get the book more than half of the material taught in class are in the textbook. Exam short answer essay on ccle have practice link no oversight, but timed on ccle .

The final is not cumulative 6 lectures and an in class midterm for all three parts of the class. We are looking at extracellular sensory responses recorded from a guinea pig. Meaning that we are seeing spikes generated by action potentials. There are no membrane potentials being recorded here. This recording here is like an echocardiogram. The recording electrodes are outside of the neuron, recording the passive movement of charge generated by the action potential moves down the axon. There is no measure of voltage drop across the membrane.
