Description
A textbook gives you one still cross-section of how a neuron fires. Neuron puts you on a magnified axon where you press Stimulate, and sodium and potassium channels open one by one while the membrane potential traces itself live, which is how an action potential forms.
Show ion concentrations, charges and the potential chart, and slow the motion to study each phase.
Stimulate: Press a button to trigger an action potential.
Ion channels: The opening and closing of sodium and potassium channels is animated.
Potential trace: A scope curve records the membrane potential.
