Excitation Theories of Rashevsky and Hill
نویسنده
چکیده
to describe the change of the excitatory process of nerve, p, under the action of a current I. K and k are constants, and action results when p exceeds some threshold value h. The equation fits extensive experimental data but is quite unable to account for the anodic excitation at break and for non-excitation by slowly rising currents. Rashevsky (1933) added a parallel equation for an inhibitory process, or threshold rise,

On the Theory of Nervous Conduction
Assuming that the propagation of the nervous impulse consists in the excitation of adjacent regions of the nerve by the action current of the already excited region, exact equations for the velocity of such a propagation are established and integrated. The result depends on the assumptions which we make about the laws of excitation. If Hoorweg's law is accepted, it is found that the velocity of...
متن کاملOn the Relation of the Strength-frequency Curve in Excitation by Alternating Current to the Strength-duration and Latent Addition Curves of the Nerve Fiber
1. Determinations were done of the strength-duration, the strength-frequency, and the latent addition curves with single fiber preparations. 2. Calculation of the strength-duration and strength-frequency curves from the latent addition data by the Blair-Monnier-Hill-Rashevsky theory yielded results which showed a considerable divergence from the actual data. Calculation by the method of integra...
متن کاملThe mathematical biophysics of Nicolas Rashevsky
N. Rashevsky (1899-1972) was one of the pioneers in the application of mathematics to biology. With the slogan: mathematical biophysics : biology :: mathematical physics ; physics, he proposed the creation of a quantitative theoretical biology. Here, we will give a brief biography, and consider Rashevsky's contributions to mathematical biology including neural nets and relational biology. We co...
متن کاملDynamic Stability of Nano FGM Beam Using Timoshenko Theory
Based on the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory, the dynamic stability of functionally gradded (FG) nanoeams under axial load is studied in thermal environment, with considering surface effect. It is used power law distribution for FGM and the surface stress effects are considered based on Gurtin-Murdoch continuum theory. Using Von Karman geometric nonlinearity, governing equations are derived bas...
متن کاملEffect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on morpho-physiological parameters of rice genotypes
An experiment was carried out to assess the effect of four nitrogen levels viz. T1 (full doze of urea i.e. 215 kg urea ha-1 at 15 DAT), T2 (full doze of urea at two equal splits, ½ at 15 DAT + ½ at 30 DAT), T3 (full doze of urea at two equal splits, ½ at 15 DAT + ½ at 55 DAT) and T4 (full doze of urea at three equal splits, 1/3 at 15 DAT + 1/3 at 30 DAT + 1/3 at 55 DAT) on morpho-physiological ...
