A series of computer simulations of the neuronal resting and action potentials are described. These programs are designed to allow the user to observe the movement of ions across a neuronal membrane during: (a) an action potential, (b) a subthreshold excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP), (c) an inhibitory postsynaptic potential, and (d) a suprathreshold EPSP in the presence of the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX).
