Neurophysiology

Provide a description of the electrical properties of an individual neuron. Include the following in your description:
• Excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic potentials being received by the neuron
• The role of the summation process in signaling
• Ions and channels involved in generating and propagating the action potential
• Ions and channels involved in triggering release of the neurotransmitter
• Then, describe the potential ethical implications of mandating the implantation an electrode in the brain of a person convicted of murder that
prevents the person from being aggressive, instead of sending him or her to prison.
