Saltatory waves in the spike-diffuse-spike model of active dendritic spines.
In this Letter we present the explicit construction of a saltatory traveling pulse of nonconstant profile in an idealized model of dendritic tissue. Excitable dendritic spine clusters, modeled with integrate-and-fire (IF) units, are connected to a passive dendritic cable at a discrete set of points. The saltatory nature of the wave is directly attributed to the breaking of translation symmetry ...

متن کاملDendritic cable with active spines: A modelling study in the spike-diffuse-spike framework
The spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) model describes a passive dendritic tree with active dendritic spines. Spine-head dynamics is modelled with a simple integrate-and-fire process, whilst communication between spines is mediated by the cable equation. Here we develop a computational framework that allows the study of multiple spiking events in a network of such spines embedded in a simple one-dimensi...
متن کاملFrom periodic travelling waves to travelling fronts in the spike-diffuse-spike model of dendritic waves.
In the vertebrate brain excitatory synaptic contacts typically occur on the tiny evaginations of neuron dendritic surface known as dendritic spines. There is clear evidence that spine heads are endowed with voltage-dependent excitable channels and that action potentials invade spines. Computational models are being increasingly used to gain insight into the functional significance of a spine wi...
متن کاملSolitary Waves in a Model of Dendritic Cable with Active Spines
We consider a continuum model of dendritic spines with active membrane dynamics uniformly distributed along a passive dendritic cable. By considering a systematic reduction of the HodgkinHuxley dynamics that is valid on all but very short time-scales we derive 2 dimensional and 1 dimensional systems for excitable tissue, both of which may be used to model the active processes in spine-heads. In...
