Abstract
The Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS) is an open-access, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal for psychology students worldwide. JEPS is run by highly motivated European psychology students and has been publishing since 2009. By ensuring that authors are always provided with extensive feedback, JEPS gives psychology students the chance to gain experience in publishing and to improve their scientific skills. Furthermore, JEPS provides students with the opportunity to share their research and to take a first step toward a scientific career.Submissions are welcomed at any time.Register to submit your work online.Visit our blog - JEPS Bulletin - for tips on writing and more.
Highlights
For many years humans have tried to understand their psyche and behavior, which both seem to stem from our brains
In a quest to unravel how the brain works, scientists have designed diverse experiments and observed many phenomena. These have ranged from electrically stimulating the squid giant axon to understand the electrical properties of1 neurons (Hodgkin & Huxley, 1952), to studying the memory of a patient with amnesia due to hippocampal lesions (Corkin, 1984)
When a signal is propagated through the axon, it eventually reaches an axon terminal; an extremity of the neuron usually connecting to dendrites of other neurons
Summary
Optogenetics uses genetically addressable photosensitive tools to monitor and control activity of living cells and tissue. In a quest to unravel how the brain works, scientists have designed diverse experiments and observed many phenomena These have ranged from electrically stimulating the squid giant axon to understand the electrical properties of neurons (Hodgkin & Huxley, 1952), to studying the memory of a patient with amnesia due to hippocampal lesions (Corkin, 1984). The depolarizing current generated by the movement of the positive charges propagates through the axon, causing distant sodium channels to reach their threshold potential as well. Metabotrophic receptors activate intracellular signal pathways, to transcription of genes, activation of enzymes, strengthening of the synapse, and many other important functions They can mediate depolarization and hyperpolarization by modulating channels through intracellular second messenger cascades
