Yentl Smith BIOL 3810-504 Compound Action Potentials Date Performed: 15FEB2011 Date Due: 01MAR2011 Introduction Neurons are the cells that receive and transmit electrical signals (University of North Texas‚ 2010). The ability of the neuron to conduct these impulses is because of an electrochemical voltage across the plasma membrane of that neuron. An action potential is an all or nothing response to a stimulus along a single axon. A compound action potential is a graded response that results

Abstract This article is investing the effects of speed of the action potential across many neurons through investigating two diseases and performing related lab simulations. Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy are the two disease which are investigated and through the use of Neurons in Action lab simulations‚ we saw the effects that demyelination and channelopathy can have. As my hypothesis guessed‚ demyelination is the main cause of multiple sclerosis and channelopathy is the main cause of epilepsy
