SK2511 Cellular Biophysics II 6.0 credits

Seminars:

The course is given as a series of seminars where the participants are expected to take an active role. The topics to be discussed: cellular electrical potential, mechanisms generating electrical potential, action potentials, model descriptions, the cable model, the Hodgkin-Huxley model, neuronal cells, voltage gated ion channels.

Laboratory exercise:

Electrophysiological measurement of membrane potential.

The course intends to provide

• Knowledge of the fundamental physical principles for the electrical properties of living cells
• Mathematical models describing membrane and action potentials
• An introduction to electrophysiological measurement techniques

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Assignments, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
