Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Activity 1: The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because when K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane they are leaving behind a net negative charge. 2. Explain

    Adaptation/ Plasticity: The human brain is able to change and adapt at any given age as if it was made of plastic‚ with the help of brain mapping we are able to know what sections are the most flexible and how it affects human behavior. We (humans) start out being less well adapted to our environment than any other animal. By the time we are adults we can use tools that our genetic heritage couldn’t have possibly taught our nervous system to use like phones‚ computers‚ etc. This is due to neuroplasticity
