How Neurons Work
8-part interactive 3D course
A built-from-real-physics course on the life of a signal through a neuron: anatomy, the resting potential (Nernst/Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz + the Na/K pump), graded potentials, the all-or-nothing Hodgkin–Huxley spike, propagation, the synapse, spiking networks with STDP, and finally the artificial neuron of deep learning. Every visual is a readout of a real solved model. Use the bar at the top of each module to move between the eight steps.
