Progress in Mathematical Modeling of Gastrointestinal Slow Wave Abnormalities

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is regulated in part by electrophysiological events called slow waves, which are generated by the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Slow waves propagate by a process of “entrainment,” which occurs over a decreasing gradient of intrinsic frequencies in the antegrade di...
