A distributed parameter identification problem in neuronal cable theory models.
Dendritic and axonal processes of nerve cells, along with the soma itself, have membranes with spatially distributed densities of ionic channels of various kinds. These ionic channels play a major role in characterizing the types of excitable responses expected of the cell type. These densities are usually represented as constant parameters in neural models because of the difficulty in experime...
متن کاملPassive Conduction - Cable Theory
Theoretical models describing propagation of synaptic potentials have evolved significantly over the past century. Synaptic potentials are the root of neural activity, electrical potential differences caused by fluxes of biological ions across the neural membrane. The first important breakthrough came through affirmation of the “leaky cable” theory proposed by Hermann. His theory described the ...
متن کاملFractional cable models for spiny neuronal dendrites.
Cable equations with fractional order temporal operators are introduced to model electrotonic properties of spiny neuronal dendrites. These equations are derived from Nernst-Planck equations with fractional order operators to model the anomalous subdiffusion that arises from trapping properties of dendritic spines. The fractional cable models predict that postsynaptic potentials propagating alo...
متن کاملThe Cable Array Robot: Theory and Experiment
Cable array robots are a class of robotic mechanisms which utilize multiple actuated cables to manipulate objects. This paper discusses the defining characteristics and the important issues relating to this class of robots. One particular type of cable array robot with three cables is presented in detail including kinematic relations and dynamic modeling. The resulting models are used to design...
متن کاملOn the cable theory of nerve conduction.
Conduction of an impulse in the nonmyelinated nerve fiber is treated quantitatively by considering it as a direct consequence of the coexistence of two structurally distinct regions, resting and active, in the fiber. The profile of the electrical potential change induced in the vicinity of the boundary between the two regions is analyzed by using the cable equations. Simple mathematical formula...
