Action potentials (2025)
Neurons can propagate impulses down the axon at speeds over 300 km/h. The speed of the action potential can vary due to different factors such as myelination and axon diameter. These will be discussed and then a simulation will be used to discover how to use correlation coefficients. Why do babies show the backward parachute reflex (show in picture)? How does this occur so rapidly? The animation below shows a...
