Basic Cardiac Electrophysiology: Excitable Membranes

D.C. Sigg et al. (eds.), Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and Models, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4419-6658-2_2, © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract Cardiomyocytes are excitable cells that have the ability to contract after excitation; therefore, each heartbeat is an event of electrical–mechanical coupling. Cardiac electrical activity at different levels can be measured through variab...

The Electrophysiology of Basic Phrase Building

A defining trait of linguistic competence is the ability to combine elements into increasingly complex structures to denote, and to comprehend, a potentially infinite number of meanings. Recent magnetoencephalography (MEG) work has investigated these processes by comparing the response to nouns in combinatorial (blue car) and non-combinatorial (rnsh car) contexts. In the current study we extend...

Electrophysiology of living organs from first principles

Based on the derivation of the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations by spatial averaging of the microscopic equations, we discuss the electrophysiology of living organs. Other methods of averaging (or homogenization) like the bidomain model are not compatible with Maxwell’s theory. We also point out that modelling the active cells by source currents is not a suitable description of the situation fro...
