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…

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…

Teaching Physiology and the World Wide Web: Electrochemistry and Electrophysiology on the Internet.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…
