On the dynamics of axonal membrane: Ion channel as the basic unit of a deterministic model

作者:

Highlights:

• A model for computing the electric potential of axonal membrane is proposed.

• The model is based on deterministic rules about the dynamics of ion channels.

• It can exhibit passive (exponential) decay and propagation of action potential.

• Simulation results are compared to theoretical works and experimental recordings.
