Mr. Furlow teaches IB Bio with a twist: his students record from both invertebrate and human nervous systems to perform unique, quantitative neuroscience labs. What effect does nicotine have on the firing rate of a neuron? What muscles are activated and which do the most work when students arm wrestle, or “dab?”
