A quantitative approximation scheme for the traveling wave solutions in the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce an approximation scheme for the Hodgkin-Huxley model of nerve conductance that allows calculation of both the speed and shape of the traveling pulses, in quantitative agreement with the solutions of the model. We demonstrate that the reduced problem for the front of the traveling pulse admits a unique solution. We obtain an explicit analytical expression for the speed of the pulses that is valid with good accuracy in a wide range of the parameters.

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell
In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...
متن کاملSome traveling wave solutions of soliton family
Solitons are ubiquitous and exist in almost every area from sky to bottom. For solitons to appear, the relevant equation of motion must be nonlinear. In the present study, we deal with the Korteweg-deVries (KdV), Modied Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) and Regularised LongWave (RLW) equations using Homotopy Perturbation method (HPM). The algorithm makes use of the HPM to determine the initial expansion...
متن کاملStimulus-driven Traveling Solutions in Continuum Neuronal Models with a General Smooth Firing Rate
We examine the existence of traveling wave solutions for a continuum neuronal network modeled by integro-differential equations. First, we consider a scalar field model with a general smooth firing rate function and a spatiotemporally varying stimulus. We prove that a traveling front solution that is locked to the stimulus exists for a certain interval of stimulus speeds. Next, we include a slo...

متن کاملStochastic partial differential equations in Neurobiology: linear and nonlinear models for spiking neurons
Stochastic differential equation (SDE) models of nerve cells for the most part neglect the spatial dimension. Including the latter leads to stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) which allow for the inclusion of important variations in the densities of ion channels. In the first part of this work, we briefly consider representations of neuronal anatomy in the context of linear SPDE m...
