This project will add the important field of cellular neurophysiology to an undergraduate laboratory. Using invertebrate preparations, students will do hands-on experiments and exercises while learning modern equipment and techniques. Four student workstations will be equipped with microscopes, intra- and extra-cellular amplifiers, stimulators, oscilloscopes and computers. The students will study the physiology and morphology of the innervation of the crayfish superficial flexor muscle, the ionic basis of the resting potential, the excitable properties of snail brain cells, crayfish neuromuscular synaptic transmission and the stimulus-response properties of the crayfish stretch receptor. This project will expose all lab students to hands on work which corresponds to text work in the course as well as provide the initial experience and equipment for those students wishing to continue their studies on the neuroscience research team and in the neuroscience concentration.

该项目将为本科生实验室增加细胞神经生理学的重要领域。使用无脊椎动物制剂，学生将进行动手实验和练习，同时学习现代设备和技术。四个学生工作站将配备显微镜、细胞内和细胞外放大器、刺激器、示波器和计算机。学生将研究小龙虾浅屈肌神经支配的生理学和形态学、静息电位的离子基础、蜗牛脑细胞的兴奋特性、小龙虾神经肌肉突触传递以及小龙虾牵张感受器的刺激响应特性。 该项目将使所有实验室学生接触到与课程中的文本工作相对应的实践工作，并为那些希望继续在神经科学研究团队和神经科学专业学习的学生提供初步经验和设备。
