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?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

Access web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
