Product reviews
Neurons in Action tutorials are unique CD-ROM-based learning tools that combine text with computer simulations of laboratory experiments in neurophysiology. Using the professional research simulator "Neuron", developed at Duke and Yale Universities, students discover how changing parameters such as neuronal geometry, ion concentrations, and ion conductance affects the generation of action potentials, synaptic potentials, and the spread or propagation of voltages within a neuron. Neurons in Action provides insight into nerve function that is simply not possible with conventional text and figure presentations. Computer Simulations with NeuroLab comprises 17 tutorials organized into three levels of difficulty. Within each level, tutorials are organized by neuronal complexity.
