The design and experience of experiment teaching in neuronal discharge evoked by the optogenetics / 中华医学教育探索杂志

The recording and analysis for the neurons' single unit discharge is one of the important content among the comprehensive experiments in basic medicine.However,the traditional experiment cannot help the students to understand the mechanism of the action potential.According to the high comprehensive quality and high requirements of training in eight-year medical students,in the past two years,we have entrained the optogenetics into the single unit recording experiment and set up an experiment of neuronal discharge evoked by the optogenetics.In this article,we the introduce teaching design of the recording and analysis of the unit discharges induced by light genetics,sum up teaching experience and put forward our own thinking.
