Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Gather and assess data concerning withdrawal reflex time within an acute pain model.
Examine and derive insights from patch clamp findings to compare the inhibitory effects of two sodium channel blockers on capsaicin-induced excitability.
Elucidate the reaction of a sensory receptor to chemical stimuli, both at the cellular and whole-organism levels.
Establish a voltage-clamp experimental setup, quantify and analyze variations in current elicited by chemical stimuli, and derive interpretations from the results.
Comprehend the classifications of sensory neurons and their diverse reactions to various stimuli.

How do virtual labs work?
