Propogation of Action Potential for Hansen’s Disease Affected Nerve Model Using Fitzhugh Nagumo like Excitation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the modeling of a Hansen’s disease (HD) affected nerve using FEM based simulation tool. There exists an exponential delay in the propagation of action potential for a diseased nerve as compared to a healthy one. To include this exponential delay, the FitzHugh Nagumo equation has been modified and modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0a. Time domain and frequency domain analyses help in a better diagnosis of the disease. The simulation results are promising and the systematic exposition discussed in this paper will be useful for the diagnosis of Hansen’s disease

Pattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach
FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...
متن کاملGlobal Chaos Control of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Chaotic Neuron Model via Integral Sliding Mode Control
Chaos is an important applied area in nonlinear dynamical systems and it is applicable to many real-world systems including the biological systems. Nerve membranes are known to exhibit their own nonlinear dynamics which generate and propagate action potentials. Such nonlinear dynamics in nerve membranes can produce chaos in neurons and related bifurcations. In 1952, A.L. Hodgkin and A.F. Huxley...
متن کاملAnalytical dynamics of nerve impulse oscillation
A space clamped neural axon along which flows a constant current exhibits current dependent oscillations of the action potential. With increasing current a characteristic Hopf bifurcation scenario can be observed: approximately harmonic small amplitude oscillations arise and bifurcate subsequently into relaxation oscillations of relatively large amplitude. Amplitude and period of the oscillatio...

متن کاملBifurcations in valveless pumping techniques from a coupled fluid-structure-electrophysiology model in heart development
We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a 2D fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of action potentials are coupled to muscular contraction and hence the overall pumping dynamics. In comparison to previous models, the electro-dynamical model does not use prescribed...
