Talk:Action potential/to do

Images

• Distribution of currents for propagating action potential in unmyelinated neuron
• Close-up explanation of saltatory conduction
• Picture to explain what "voltage across membrane" means (the potential difference of the inside solution with respect to the outside solution)
• Picture of spines on dendrite

Animations

• Animation of the action potential at one patch of membrane, showing channels opening/closing, ions crossing while showing trace of voltage versus time
  • see Talk:Action potential#animation
• Animation of the sodium-potassium pump
• Animation of some unusual channel types, e.g., rectifying channels?
• Animation of buildup of positive and negative charges along the inside and outside lining of a membrane from resting phase to rising phase to peak phase to refractory phase and resting phase again.

Anatomy

• typical branching ratios of neurons; typical number of synapses

Sections

• Ensure membrane potential section is accurate
• Ensure membrane potential section describes how depolarizations decay with time and distance
