Our friends at Backyard Brains have done it again! We are proud to present their Anuradha Rao Memorial Experiment: Neuropharmacology-Effect of Nicotine and MSG on Neurons!
"It's 2 AM, your linear algebra final is in 6 hours, and you gulp down another espresso. You start thinking: "I wonder how this espresso and other drugs actually work?" We are here to lead you through an interesting experiment where you will use drugs, such as glutamate and nicotine, to change the firing rate of the cricket cerci system's neurons. In this experiment you will learn how different drugs and chemical agents affect the nervous system using the cricket cercal system. You will also learn how to create a few different chemical solutions."

Please note that this class requires pre-registration in order to ensure that there are enough materials and crickets for all students.
