Monteiro, Olivia; Bhaskar, Anand; Wong, Io Nam; Ng, Anna K. M.; Baptista-Hon, Daniel T. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Patch-clamp electrophysiological recordings of neuronal activity require a large amount of space and equipment. The technique is difficult to master and not conducive to demonstration to more than a few medical students. Therefore, neurophysiological education is mostly limited to classroom-based pedagogies such as lectures. However, the…

Jeon, Young Keul; Youm, Jae Boum; Ha, Kotdaji; Woo, JooHan; Yoo, Hae Young; Leem, Chae Hun; Lee, Seung Hee; Kim, Sung Joon – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
To understand the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling of cardiomyocytes, including the electrophysiological mechanism of their characteristically long action potential duration, is one of the major learning goals in medical physiology. However, the integrative interpretation of the responses occurring during the contraction-relaxation cycle is…

del Mar Quiroga, Maria; Choate, Julia K. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
Physiology is commonly taught through direct experience and observation of scientific phenomena in "hands-on" practical laboratory classes. The value of such classes is limited by students' lack of understanding of the underlying theoretical concepts and their lack of confidence with the experimental techniques. In our experience,…

As part of a 3-wk intersession workshop funded by a National Science Foundation Expeditions in Computing award, 15 undergraduate students from the City University of New York collaborated on a study aimed at characterizing the voltage dynamics and arrhythmogenic behavior of cardiac cells for a broad range of physiologically relevant conditions…

Albarracin, Ana L.; Farfan, Fernando D.; Felice, Carmelo J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2009
The major challenge in laboratory teaching is the application of abstract concepts in simple and direct practical lessons. However, students rarely have the opportunity to participate in a laboratory that combines practical learning with a realistic research experience. In the Bioengineering Department, we started an experiential laboratory…

Dwyer, Terry M.; Fleming, John; Randall, James E.; Coleman, Thomas G. – Advances in Physiology Education, 1997
Presents two examples of laboratory exercises using the World Wide Web for first-year medical students. The first example introduces the physical laws that apply to osmotic, chemical, and electrical gradients and a simulation of the ability of the sodium-potassium pump to establish chemical gradients and maintain cell volume. The second module…
