007 What is an action Potential

Leslie Samuel introduces a new format for his video series, now called Interactive Biology TV. He explains the concept of action potential, describing it as an electrical signal that travels through neurons. Using an iPhone as an analogy, he illustrates how signals are transmitted in the nervous system, emphasizing the role of axons in this process. The video aims to provide a clear understanding of action potentials and their significance in the nervous system.
