Induced mitochondrial membrane potential for modeling solitonic conduction of electrotonic signals
A cable model that includes polarization-induced capacitive current is derived for modeling the solitonic conduction of electrotonic potentials in neuronal branchlets with microstructure containing endoplasmic membranes. A solution of the nonlinear cable equation modified for fissured intracellular medium with a source term representing charge 'soakage' is used to show how intracellular capacit...
متن کاملElectrotonic vascular signal conduction and nephron synchronization.
Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) and the myogenic mechanism control afferent arteriolar diameter in each nephron and regulate blood flow. Both mechanisms generate self-sustained oscillations, the oscillations interact, TGF modulates the frequency and amplitude of the myogenic oscillation, and the oscillations synchronize; a 5:1 frequency ratio is the most frequent. TGF oscillations synchronize i...
متن کاملElectrotonic conduction in the optic nerves of planorbid snails.
While action potentials are the usual means of transmission in axons, recent work has established that decrementally conducted potentials are also utilized. Decremental conduction has been demonstrated to be the exclusive mode of transmission in certain sensory axons of vertebrates (Werblin & Dowling, 1969; Kaneko, 1967, 1970) and invertebrates (Gwilliam, 1965, Ripley, Bush & Roberts, 1968; Ioa...
متن کاملElectrotonic modulation of cardiac impulse conduction by myofibroblasts.
Structural remodeling of the myocardium associated with mechanical overload or cardiac infarction is accompanied by the appearance of myofibroblasts. These fibroblast-like cells express alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) and have been shown to express connexins in tissues other than heart. The present study examined whether myofibroblasts of cardiac origin establish heterocellular gap junctio...
متن کاملRhythmogenic effects of weak electrotonic coupling in neuronal models.
Strong gap-junctional coupling can synchronize the electrical oscillations of cells, but we show, in a theoretical model, that weak coupling can phase lock two cells 180 degrees out-of-phase. Antiphase oscillations can exist in parameter regimens where in-phase oscillations break down. Some consequences are (i) coupling two excitable cells leads to pacemaking, (ii) coupling two pacemaker cells ...
