Abstract
This mini-workshop presentation involves hands-on activities in which participants put together and manipulate home-made, 3-D models of voltage-gated spike channels (both Na+ and K+ channels). The models are made of common, everyday materials. They have moveable activation and inactivation gates whose workings tie in closely with the known behavior of voltage-gated channels that mediate Na-based action potentials in neurons and other electrically excitable cells, as presented in physiology texts.
Keywords: ion channel, sodium channel, potassium channel, voltage, neuron
