Analysis of excitable cell models
Electrically excitable cells, e.g., neurons, cardiac cells, and pancreatic -cells, must function properly to maintain health. In this paper, we describe some of the research on excitable cells that we have carried out over the past 15 years. In particular, we describe some electrical phenomena observed in these cells and how we are trying to understand the mechanisms causing them by using model...
متن کاملPassive Models of Excitable Cells
Excitable cells show a strongly nonlinear relationship between the transmembrane potential and the membrane current. In particular, after the membrane potential reaches threshold, the membrane potential follows a stereotyped wave shape called the action potential. Nevertheless, up to about 80% of the threshold level, the membrane potential and current can be described accurately using linear, o...
متن کاملBottom-up excitable models of phytoplankton blooms.
A simple nutrient-phytoplankton model is used to explore the dynamics of phytoplankton blooms. The model exhibits excitable behaviour in the sense that a large scale outbreak can only be triggered when a critical nutrient threshold is exceeded. The model takes into account several features often neglected but whose combined effect proves very important: (i) rapid nutrient recycling associated w...
متن کاملA priori estimates for excitable models
The reaction-diffusion system of Fitzhugh Nagumo is considered. The initialboundary problems with Neumann and Dirichlet conditions are analyzed. By means of an equivalent semilinear integrodifferential equation which characterizes several dissipative models of viscoelasticity, biology, and superconductivity, some results on existence, uniqueness and a priori estimates are deduced both in the li...
متن کاملReducing run-times of excitable cell models by replacing computationally expensive functions with splines
Numerical simulation of muscle cells and tissue is an established tool in cardiac electrophysiology, where the electrical behavior of excitable heart muscle cells is commonly modeled as a stiff, non-linear system of ordinary differential equations. A common feature of this system’s right-hand side is the heavy use of computationally expensive univariate functions of the membrane potential. In t...
