| 简介 |
Crawdad is a groundbreaking neurophysiology laboratory guide on CD-ROM. More than just a traditional lab manual on disk, Crawdad engages the student with sight and sound, teaching through video demonstration.
The exercises are both inexpensive and straightforward for students, and have been successfully used and refined for over 15 years at Cornell and other institutions. They use simple invertebrate preparations (primarily crayfish, but also snails and an alga), rather than classical vertebrate preparations (such as frogs, turtles, and rats) to illustrate fundamental processes of all nervous systems. The crayfish neuromuscular junction, for instance, is an excellent model for human central nervous system synapses. The use of invertebrates alleviates to some extent the problem of obtaining animal care protocols. Moreover, crayfish are "farmed" in aquaculture, thus attenuating the ecological impact issues that arise from using frogs. Rather than simply guiding students through an understanding of important neurobiology concepts, each lab also allows discovery-based learning through additional student-designed experiments.
Crawdad features a self-contained interface (no internet browser, etc., required), hypertext links, and optional video subtitles and voice-overs. The Student CD-ROM contains instructions and videos for each lab; questions; suggestions for further exploration; tips for dissecting (e.g., lighting, posture, and correct use of tools) and recording (e.g., noise reduction, electrode handling, and troubleshooting); and calculators for all equations used. An accompanying printed manual includes all of the CD-ROM's text and figures
