Neural Conduction, Action Potential, and Synaptic Transmission

[@ReiverBlue1971]

I love the fact that your vids are a good length at just under 20 minutes (so can keep your attention and focus) but feel like they're about 2 minutes long! Awesome stuff ;D

[@lucifershome]

my professor doesn't include anything visual and these really help me retain info. professor dave being the GOAT as usual, thanks dude.

@@sreemohansharma5954 You're right about that. I wish we were tested on understanding, not what we can regurgitate from a textbook.

@Sreemohan Sharma well at least now you can go through the material twice as fast (at least) and it'll be much easier to remember the key points and maybe even details! Just as long as you don't make excuses of course 😉

[@studymateanushka8679]

My biopsychology teacher took 1 week to clear this topic and you finished it in 20 minutes amazing 🤩😍

[@bradsillasen1972]

I've been watching and reading a lot about this topic but nothing compares to your presentations. The sophisticated graphics alone must take countless hours to create, let alone all the research you must be doing for all your material. Pretty mind-boggling in and of itself! Thanks for the hard work. I'll be signing up and donating on Patreon in the near future.

This is such a great video; explains everything so well, and leaves no leaps of faith! Love how you included how "chemistry happens in picoseconds". Thanks Dave!

[@maimahdi7373]

Yeah, I loved that too, cuz I was wondering about it, like there’s so much going on in our neurons and signals travel all these distances like. I AM WOWED

I want to add another comment, THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! I understand the concepts different receptors but most times, I cannot picture the connection and how it happens (how it jumps from one type of receptor to the next). THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@TillenOchieng-c5d]

superb illustration

[@josephhubbard4332]

I'm not sure voltage-gated potassium channels opening at the depolarization threshold is accurate. It would have to move against both electrical potential and concentration gradients to make the intracellular potential more positive and literature seems to suggest that it is either calcium or more sodium gates

[@humanhiveanomaly]

Came here from professor Dave's post. Good vid and more so interesting to an EE. "Oh electrochemistry, what will you come up with next..."

Thank you so so much sir. I wish my professor could explain as clear as you did here. I've watched a lot of your videos before and they all helped me a lot.

[@timothyvanpelt_cyclist]

Content of tremendous value, you often fill in the gaps of concepts I'm trying to understand. I think one point could be made more clear in this video. Based on most other sources I have, voltage-gated sodium channels only start opening quickly at around -55mV (threshold value) and voltage-gated potassium channels at around +30mV. But, for example in the figure at 10:50, you show and say the potassium channels open at -55mV. I'm trying to get this clear for myself, so maybe this is of help! I'd also like to suggest a video about saltatory condunction in detail! :D

[@heltiswelt]

[@deborahr9188]

Prof. Dave, I want to thank you for your excellent work and the quality of your videos, which has helped many students who are currently in remote education. However, I believe that it is not offensive that I point out a flaw in the content: the sodium-potassium pump does not only turn on at the end of the action potential, but has intermittent activity and is more active in repolarization, as sodium is stimulating for its functioning ; refractory periods also do not occur after the end of repolarization, but at the moment that repolarization begins, since the absolute refractory is caused by the return of the sodium channels to the resting shape, and the relative refractory is due to the membrane's hypernegativity , and therefore would need an additional voltage to cause premature potential and action. Despite this small point.. it"s a very great job!!

[@The_Broken_Smile]

I'm really thankful.

[@dhandapanibalasubramanian1813]

[@aleshiukas]

What happens between the membranes ? And why certain diseases which thickens membrane makes slower signaling ?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Between which membranes? I'm not aware of anything that thickens membranes, I would assume they are of fixed width, as phospholipids are of a fixed length.

[@aleshiukas]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains At kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHmtZJtsbJqhhM0 I can see several membranes/coath, where in-between is a thick area. Or this is just a symbolic image and membrane is thru the whole axon in one piece ? As matter membrane thick, there are several demyelination processes regarding neuro diseases (multiple sclerosis, gulian-barre syndrome etc..)

[@fernsader9261]

@@aleshiukas the demyelination would denature both the protein and membrane layers along the mylin sheath layers which would rupture the tissue, therefor affecting the action potential of the cells, and reducing cognitive ability. but all of this if one were to state it the way your trying to understand it, is technically DECREASING the density or thickness of the sheath.

[@fernsader9261]

I am not aware of increases in neuron growth as neuronal cells are stagnant and do not replicate. If they do it is very rare and through the use of extensive oxygen induction.

[@aleshiukas]

@@fernsader9261 Im asking why demyelination slows down messages sent along axon comparing the healthy nerve with a normal myelin coath.

I thought that resting state: Na and K gates closed. depolarization phase: Na gates open but K gates still closed repolarization phase: Na gates close and K gates open Then the Na/K pump: brings in back from hyperpolarization to RMP??????? That's how my professor taught it...is it wrong?

Great explanation, I almost can relate to everything you said, lol so much information. Good thing that’s what our brain is for. To hold information. Great job from the U.S.

[@jayita1523]

Can anyone tell me what is the need for action potential? Does it help in faster transmission of the nerve impulses?

[@organizedbiology]

The action potential itself IS the achievement of electrical transmission-that is, once the neuron reaches its threshold potential, sodium ions will rush in, leading to a rapid transmission of an electrochemical impulse down the axon. It certainly helps the speed of transmission-as does the myelination of those axons, which insulated the signal and makes it go faster, similar to wires in our homes.

[@TheHHPodcast]

since this channel explains things so extraordinary well that either means: 1. it is for dumb people. Because smart people would not need such good explanations OR 2. that it is both for smart- and dumb people because it saves all from needless confusion and delay of understanding. What do you say? My answer is number 2. Because number 1. Is like saying "nice cars are only for bad drivers because they need all the help they can get". Also: Why would a good driver (smart person) want to drive a bad car (even though he could handle it) if he has the choice to drive a nice car (professor Dave videos).

"(...)and squeezing more will not produce any additional effect." Gamers would disagree XD

[@victormaxwellpeters9771]

What if ions come under the influence of gravity?? Potassium ions being heavier than sodium will fall down through inner membrain so the concentration gradient might change with In the inner membrane itself. Can you kindly clear my doubt??

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

We are talking about an amount of mass that is totally negligible. Gravity does not dictate events on the molecular level.
