Neuron

Neuron is a dynamic educational simulator built in Java that focuses on the electrophysiology of a single nerve cell. The core experience is visualizing the transmembrane ion movements that create electrical signals. Users can initiate stimuli and watch the resulting cascade: resting potential, depolarization spike, and recovery. The simulation highlights ion channels and pumps, making abstract textbook concepts tangible. Designed for clarity and engagement, it serves as a virtual experiment for students of biology, psychology, or medicine to grasp the basis of neural signaling.
