I hope you are enjoying – at least a little bit – the process of demonstrating everything you have learned this semester. Be sure to submit your bubble sheet and project question answers as one PDF via Bb. For full credit make sure everything you submit is clearly written and labelled.

If you used generative AI – as your were allowed to do – I would appreciate a few words explaining how you used it and whether or not it was helpful.

I’ll try to get everything graded by the end of next week.

There is a problem with question #60. This question will not be graded.

Question #6 says “The Control recording spikes faster than the recording performed in the presence of 30 µM Zn2+ …” but it should say “The Control recording spikes SLOWER than the recording performed in the presence of 30 µM Zn2+ …”

Student:

For project question 3, I included a relaxation term in both the E and I equations, and was able to get limit cycle oscillations. I just wanted to confirm that this does not conflict with the requirements of the question, as the originally provided equations did not include them.

Professor:

You are quite right! The equations should include relaxation terms, but do not. The correct equations are:

Student: I think there is a typo in question 51.  The only stable fixed points are 1&5, but the question answers are 1&2, 1&3, 2&3, 2&4, and 3&4.

Professor: You are correct. You can leave it blank. I won’t grade question 51.

The Final Exam is posted on Blackboard. Enjoy the process of demonstrating how much you have learned this semester!

If anyone asks a question of me that gets an answer, I will post the both question and answer here.

I still have some finishing touches to make on the final exam. I expect that it will be posted by the end of the day tomorrow.

Tonight’s review session is cancelled, please take the time to go over the content as suggested and come with questions on monday.

See the blog page Inhibitory interneuron networks and cortical oscillations for the readings associated with Tuesday’s online asynchronous class.

Reminder that the optional problem set 5 is due tomorrow.

Please take a few moments to submit an evaluation for Cellular Biophysics and Modeling. Written comments are especially encouraged. I consider them carefully.
