PSYC 388 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Frequency Domain, Circadian Clock, Chronobiology
Document Summary
Caridean rhythms" which are controlled by the 24-hour biological clocks: circadian rhythms synchronize animal behaviour and physiology with the solar day. This is return presents challenges for survival as well. An example of this can be the time needed between the arrival of successive crests of waves in the ocean. Scientists first describe the natural world and then the observations are sorted into categories (like objects and phenomena). The ~100 ms and ~5 is one full period. Displays the firing arrays of a neuron, the rate of action potential varies with temperature. The vertical spike is the action potential, a rapid depolarization (more positive) and then repolarization (more negative). Snails were adopted in the field of neurophysiology as they have big neurons that can be studied by a glass or metal electrode that is sticked it into the neuron and is visible to the naked eye.
