Certainly one reason is that in order to understand what medications and street drugs do, you need to understand how neurons work. Another reason is that there are disorders of faulty action potential formation and transmission. In order to understand these you need to know what normal function looks like. Your task for this section is to find a drug or a disease that changes how neurons function (at the level of action potential formation and transmission) and briefly explain it to the class. A different way to think of this to is how does the drug or disease work to increase or decrease neurotransmission? It should be at least 500 words. You can provide a link if that is helpful. Enjoy. (If you are truly stuck on this in module 1 we discussed a few disease states that alter neural transmission and in this module we went over different neurotransmitters, so you can pick a neurotransmitter and find drugs that work on that specific neurotransmitter) Your grade will be determined by: Your ability to demonstrate application of reading |
