Electrodiffusion Phenomena in Neuroscience and the Nernst–Planck–Poisson Equations

This work is aimed to give an electrochemical insight into the ionic transport phenomena in cellular environment of organized brain tissue. The Nernst–Planck–Poisson (NPP) model presented, and its applications description electrodiffusion relevant nanoscale neurophysiology are reviewed. These include: signal propagation neurons, liquid junction potential extracellular space, ion channels, electrical distortions invisible patch-clamp technique, calcium through mitochondrial membrane. limitations, as well extensions NPP that allow us overcome these also discussed.
