Simulation of myelinated neuron with focus on conduction speed and changeable excitability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus on the two particular properties of myelinated neuron, the increased conduction speed and changeable excitability. First we implemented myelinated neuron using NEURON simulator and verified in simulation the previously known two properties mentioned above. Next we tried to identify in simulation which channels were responsible for changeable excitability. Finally we verified that the structure of dendrites could also affect the changeable excitability.

Two Novel Learning Algorithms for CMAC Neural Network Based on Changeable Learning Rate
Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller Neural Network is a computational model of cerebellum which acts as a lookup table. The advantages of CMAC are fast learning convergence, and capability of mapping nonlinear functions due to its local generalization of weight updating, single structure and easy processing. In the training phase, the disadvantage of some CMAC models is unstable phenomenon...
متن کاملRemodeling of Hyperpolarization-Activated Current, Ih, in Ah-Type Visceral Ganglion Neurons Following Ovariectomy in Adult Rats
Hyperpolarization-activated currents (Ih) mediated by hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels modulate excitability of myelinated A- and Ah-type visceral ganglion neurons (VGN). Whether alterations in Ih underlie the previously reported reduction of excitability of myelinated Ah-type VGNs following ovariectomy (OVX) has remained unclear. Here we used the intact nodose...
متن کاملContactin Orchestrates Assembly of the Septate-like Junctions at the Paranode in Myelinated Peripheral Nerve
Rapid nerve impulse conduction depends on specialized membrane domains in myelinated nerve, the node of Ranvier, the paranode, and the myelinated internodal region. We report that GPI-linked contactin enables the formation of the paranodal septate-like axo-glial junctions in myelinated peripheral nerve. Contactin clusters at the paranodal axolemma during Schwann cell myelination. Ablation of co...

In this work magnetic fields were calculated for a single axon using a novel hybrid model of the electro-physiological parameters of the human optic nerve, and a complete 3 dimensional solution of the differential form of Poisson’s equation. Theory and Methods The axon was modelle...
متن کاملCompound Action Potential of Isolated Spinal Cord: A Biophysical Analysis to Address Activity of Individual Fibers Following Contusion Injury
Compound action potential (CAP) of spinal cord represents valuable properties of neural fibers including excitability, rate of myelination and membrane integrity. These properties are measured using amplitude, latency and area under curve of CAPs recorded from spinal cord. Here, the isolated spinal cord was set in a double sucrose gap (DSG) chamber and its response to intracellular stimulation ...
