Episode 38: Neurons and Synapses

We conclude our series on the standard model with an introduction to gauge theory. We discuss how the requirement of local gauge invariance generates interaction terms in the Lagrangian, and introduce the U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) group structure of the standard model. We also conside ...  Afficher plus

An introduction to the particles and forces that constitute the standard model of particle physics. After some historical background, we introduce each of the three fundamental forces that comprise the standard model - electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nucl ...  Afficher plus

Nervous system organization & function. Neuroanatomy. action potential process, neurotransmitters & neurotransmission. Psychophysiology lab: muscle unit recruitment. 

In this episode, I introduce you to the human brain and discuss the global structure of the central nervous system, cognitive functions such as memory and attention, and the neuron at the microscopic level. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. 

In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike discuss how the nervous system allows us to walk, talk, smell, taste, hear, and feel! This episode is about the electrical and chemical signals that the body sends called action potentials!For a video on this topic we suggest that you watch: A ...  Afficher plus

In this lecture, we will briefly explore the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, including its structure, function, and the different types of cells that make up this system.
