Images

  • Distribution of currents for propagating action potential in unmyelinated neuron
  • Close-up explanation of saltatory conduction
  • Picture to explain what "voltage across membrane" means (the potential difference of the inside solution with respect to the outside solution)
  • Picture of spines on dendrite

Animations

  • Animation of the action potential at one patch of membrane, showing channels opening/closing, ions crossing while showing trace of voltage versus time
  • Animation of the sodium-potassium pump
  • Animation of some unusual channel types, e.g., rectifying channels?
  • Animation of buildup of positive and negative charges along the inside and outside lining of a membrane from resting phase to rising phase to peak phase to refractory phase and resting phase again.

Anatomy

  • typical branching ratios of neurons; typical number of synapses
