Abstract This article is investing the effects of speed of the action potential across many neurons through investigating two diseases and performing related lab simulations. Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy are the two disease which are investigated and through the use of Neurons in Action lab simulations‚ we saw the effects that demyelination and channelopathy can have. As my hypothesis guessed‚ demyelination is the main cause of multiple sclerosis and channelopathy is the main cause of epilepsy
