This project introduces a laboratory component to an existing Neurobiology course and adds computer capability to promote independent student projects in a current Animal Physiology course. The equipment added includes Macintosh IIsi computers, a data acquisition and analysis system (MacLab), and supporting hardware and software. The Neurobiology course focuses on the medicinal leech and covers such techniques as intracellular recording with microelectrodes, voltage clamp measurements of ionic currents, and computer-assisted data acquisition and analysis. Equipment includes anti-vibration tabletops, Leitz and Huxley micromanipulator, A-M Systems intracellular amplifiers, an Axoclamp voltage clamp amplifier, and a Flaming- Brown microelectrode puller. In both laboratories students, working in teams of three, first learn a basic technique or principle and then formulate and test their own related hypothesis either by designing a mini-independent research project or redesigning the parameters for the basic laboratory.

该项目将实验室组件引入现有的 神经生物学课程，并增加了计算机能力，以促进 在当前的动物生理学独立的学生项目 当然了增加的设备包括Macintosh IIsi电脑， 数据采集和分析系统（MacLab），并支持 硬件与软件 神经生物学课程的重点是 药用水蛭，并涵盖了细胞内 用微电极记录，电压钳测量 离子电流和计算机辅助数据采集， 分析. 设备包括防振台面、Leitz 和Huxley显微操作器，A-M系统细胞内 放大器，Axoclamp电压钳位放大器，和火焰- 棕色微电极拉拔器。 在这两个实验室的学生， 三人一组，先学一门基本技术， 原则，然后制定和测试自己的相关 或者通过设计一个小型的独立研究， 项目或重新设计基本实验室的参数。
