3D-Simulation of Action Potential Propagation in a Squid Giant Axon
Published in 2009
Study of neurons plays a key role in the fields of basic and medical research aiming at the development of electrically active implants. The Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations are used to model and simulate the spike generation and propagation in a squid giant axon using COMSOL Multiphysics® 3.5a Software. It is shown that the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations allow for a geometrical explanation of important biological phenomena related to neuronal excitability and spike-generating mechanisms
